This is one of the dumbest questions an interviewer can ask.
It’s like asking a football coach, “What play are you going to call five downs from now?”
The response I normally give is, "That depends on where the company will be 5 years from now. By then I should have solved whatever problem you are hiring me to fix now. So where will you need me then?
And if I tell you my plans about five years down the road (at best a WAG, at worst propaganda), what will it do to assist you in making a hiring decision? I mean, there has never been a more pointless interview question.

I want to turn the world upside down. Or at least I want to be that way.
