I forgot to say: I also don't get why companies ask about long-term goals. Almost all the engineers I know stay around 2-3 years at any given company and then they move on to another. I think companies expect this as well (and probably some of them encourage it, as in: they let their senior engineers leave and hire fresh junior ones for less money. We all know the story: Joe switched from company A to company B because company B is offering him a 20% increase in his salary. Company A couldn't offer him that raise because of reasons, so they let him go")
