Five-Year Plans: do they still matter?

What are your thoughts, given our current landscape?

    Five-year plans matter, not just for yourself, but for those you'll interact with socially. Career-wise, interviewers will usually ask some derivative of this question to feel out whether you intend to be at a company/firm long-term and have clear and concise plans to become a subject matter expert within a relevant field and rise within their ranks. I'm probably not going to hire someone for a tech job if their 5-year plan is opening a food truck.

    I agree and it makes sense professional career-wise. What about personal goals?
