I absolutely agree with that, Jason. But I think rather then saying "I want to be with this company x years," possibly say "At some point, I want to move from x to a management position" or "I want to get a graduate degree in 3 to 4 years."

Again, not always feasible if you don't know what you want yet or if you're in the wrong environment, but a good strategy when it works </tautology>
