Respect bro, despite achieving all this, and having such great outlook towards life, You're down to earth, no wonder God has kept best things in store for you! And as far the answer is concerned, its the best one this question will ever have! Love from India♥
Your answer wasn't mind blowing. However, your delivery in the moment and the fact that it was truly genuine made it Golden. Your sincerity was the Golden ticket.
That is literally the best answer I have ever heard. I have always been strugling with this type of "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" questions.Your video give me the solution for this, thank you!
Honestly Microsoft seems like they have the best work culture and mission out of all big tech companies. I can't wait for my final rounds with them in a week!
I feel you so much. I'm a new grad and landed on my first job in Tokyo as an international student, but I feel that there is so much to experience in life, that I shouldn't be limiting myself to whatever I know now. I will surely know so much more and make decisions base on my widened perspective down the years.
I think the answer you gave was very good and professional. I loved it. However, I feel the overall interview questions and answers will always be suggestive based on the company and the person interviewing you. I remember getting a similar reaction to from an interviewer answering to the "Why should we hire you?" question. The answer I gave them they said they never heard before. I skipped the follow up interviews they had planned for the others and started within two weeks. I used the same answer to a question somewhere else and they didn't like it too much. Probably a huge contributor to why I never heard from them again. Regardless I loved this video and it was very informative/motivating. First time watcher and subscriber as of today!

I was wondering what you'd say....When you began with going backwards 5 years ago, I absolutely exclaimed "PLAY OF THE GAME! PLAY OF THE GAME!" haha. It was absolutely mental. You're a marvelous story-teller as well; When you narrated the situation when the interviewer asked the boss question, it was so dramatic! I thought I was reading a suspense novel lol. I can't imagine you being silent for around 30 seconds uff. I learned a lot from this, even though I've my 1st interview in the coming days. So thanks for that. Lastly, the subtitles really help, as me and my friends have headache when listening to music (yes really), so we lower the volume.
It really makes you look inward when you come up with an answer to stump a hiring manager. The insightful response to this question "looking at your past, and trying to be in a place that makes you a better you." That is the essence of what we should all strive for and not stagnate at "just another paycheck." Thank you!
Just reminds me of the famous Steve Jobs quote "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." Awesome answer though, also would you by any chance consider posting educational content {core subjects, languages, interview questions etc} on this channel? i'd love to learn from you
that answer is actually one of the best answers i have ever heard, i actually paused the video and thought about an answer to give too and i was stuck, thanks man. Keep doing what you're doing!
I am about to start my master of IT. this is not only a golden answer for interview, but also a life code or even life hack. man, u r just so inspiring!
That answer didn't just "click in" for no reason. I had come up with that exact same answer during my interview last week. I was also unprepared for the question but, I have been jumping from industry to industry, company to company, moving from the US to Japan to China then finally to Canada, so I immediately realized why I made every single decision. This is absolutely a great answer, but we also need real life stories to back it up, stories that indeed show the drive that controls us to move forward, stories that really speak for themselves.
first of all thanks to the youtube algorithmn for recommending this channel! Next i started watching his one video and after literally started watching all videos! You have done really good stuff. whole hearted Respect sir!
I just started programming classes and I'm not sure if this makes me more or less nervous for the future. But thanks for sharing in-depthly, makes it feel very relatable and achievable.
My interview process was a little weird. 4 rounds. Interviewing for a job I was already working as a contractor. 1 technical interview with a coworker. He laughed and said he didnt have any questions because I already know you can do everything we need. 2 more cross functional personality and cultural fit interviews with individuals from different, non technical, business orgs. And a final conversation with a VP. She pressed me on what were the flaws of my current org and what I would do to fix them.
Pirate King, THANK YOU🙂. Now, I feel good, cause I had similar answer for some interviews. Like I am like : I don't know exactly where I will be in five years, life is full of a surprise I do not even know if I will make it next week; however if I get a chance to reach the next 5 years from now, I know I would be the better version of myself, with new set of skills.
i find it kinda funny that so many newer software engineering youtubers take so much inspiration from the SWE classic youtubers like TechLead and Joma Tech. this video and Pirate King’s character are clearly influenced by Patrick Shyu (TechLead): the confidence, the advice, the funny kinda pretentiousness. keep it up!
Working at a FAANG or Microsoft seems pretty cookie cutter. I think it's time we extend that acronym. Seems like talent just gets absorbed by/concentrated at these companies.
I think your answer is great because it is sincere and very personal that nobody but you can come up with that answer. I also like profound questions like that wherein it reveals more of you as a person and not just a person looking for a job.
I was asked the same question in Barnes and Noble web developer interview 14-15 years ago. The interviewer kept asking me what will you be in the next 5 years again and again for 3 times. The first time I said I wanted to be a lead developer in a team, then he asked me again and again. At last I said after 911 happened, I wouldn't think too far ahead in the future. LOL
Great share dude, I got a offer just like that, he spent hours asked me these brain hack question, akwark moment come, but I did not tried to make up story, I just say what I am feeling for ice breaking then go on
Asking someone where will they be in 5 years is the same as asking who your future wife is going to be. Do you know? Do I look like a fortune teller to you? It's a terrible question to begin with because logically speaking none of us know what will happen in the future, especially 5 years from now. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in that situation going through an interview in the first place. We can only hope that we do the best we can at this very moment and keep striving to do better than who we were yesterday.
I am a brazilian CS student (finishing my first year) and my dream is work on a big tech Company in the US (i really would love live in SF). There isnt many oportunities here in my country to get jobs in these companys, especially in other coutries so im really trying my best to get every tips and informations that might be useful for me. Love your videos, thanks for sharing these kind of stories, you inspire me to work hard every day and i hope in the future i became as sucesseful as you ❤️🙏
We might have the same final boss. I was asked the same questions "Where will you be in 5 year?" but I went blank. At the end I reversed the table and asked the boss "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" .... The overall 4-round interview experience in Redmond was fun and I have learned and grown a lot from it.

In the real world you get red flagged for being a risky hire but you do you.

Hi Daniel,Thank you so much for sharing your experience. One of the best answer!! Take care.
SUBBED, beautiful answer
That's the most honest answer I have ever heard
That was a great flip to the question! I expected the generic answer lol Thanks for being an inspiration!
You killing it love the way you explain for where l am gonna after 5 years Q…👍 hats off yo,

i expected you to say "I'm gonna be king of the pirates and find one piece!" haha
Great story. Sooooo in 5 years you gotta do a recap video now. Looking forward to it lol
I'm coming late but I really like your videos! For this video I really liked your answer, genuine and inspiring... Thank you very much!!!
Thanks! I'm glad! :)
Said in a Interveiw once "if there is room for learning and growing in this company I will still be here in 5 years" 😆

Yes your response to that question is mind-blowing! It's particularly golden!
So who then was ill-prepared 🤷
That's a great way to rephrase "I don't know"

TLDR you must be prepared. and if you're genius enough, you got this
And so who is unprepared now. 😂 Cool!
I don't even know where I was 5 years ago. I need the Facebook algorithm to remind me of it.....
I love your answer
So basically you nailed this typical question by didn’t prepare for it lols

What do you mean by that?

Thanks for this video!! May I ask, in the technical interview with Microsoft, are you allowed to choose your programming language?
Also I just want to say that this was GOLD advise
Yup! Technical interviews are usually language agnostic; you can choose any language you like unless you are told otherwise in advance :)
This was a great story. Can you tell us something about your project and day-to-day work as well ? Really curious to know how your typical day progresses at MS.
Do you continue to get discounts on Microsoft software for life if you decide to leave one day?
No its only during employment
