This is like a bit of a trick question, because sometimes the answer is not in this job, you can say am excited by this position, but I love to see myself as deep expertise in my field, and I know that’s something that I’ll have an opportunity to do here. I’m also really excited to take on more managerial responsibilities in the next few years and potentially even take the lead on some projects. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some amazing managers, and so developing into a great manager myself is something I’m really excited about.

If the interviewer asked you this question that's mean he wants to know what's your ambitions and your goals in your career so you have to answer this question depending on your goals and your wonderful future but you haven't say something imaginary you have to speak about your real goals and what you would like to be in the future
Everybody has a goal they want to reach, there is no right or wrong answer. It is what you personally believe you can achieve. That is the answer you give. There is no such thing as a far fetched answer either. Its your personal belief.
When a hiring manager asks you this, there may be a few things running through your brain. “Moving (way) up the ranks,” “running this place,” “working for myself,” or “in your job
Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years? This question can potentially derail an interview if you aren't prepared.
Considering the average length of time people stay with a company or in a job is less than5 years, it seems a little silly that employers will still ask this question.
Avoid Giving a Non-Answer
Most job seekers jump into this question without truly having set any personal career goals or having a good sense of the company culture.
A common mistake is trying to name a specific position that may or may not exist in the company. On the other hand, a vague response such as, "I would hope to be able to progress into a senior level position," could backfire if the position doesn't offer any advancement. And a flippant response.
What the Employer Is Trying to Discover
Before answering this question, it is helpful to understand that the interviewer is looking for five primary things in your answer:
1. Do you have a solid grasp of the position and what it entails?
2. Do you have the right attitude?
3. Are you going to be dependable?
4. Are you a good cultural and social fit for the organization?
5. How are you going to use your strengths to achieve success in this job?
Qualifications and experience being somewhat equal among candidates, the decision maker(s) wants the candidate who is the best fit culturally. The candidate who takes time to prepare a list of personal goals in advance of the interview will be able to communicate his/her strengths and potential fit best.
How to Prepare Your Answer
Try using these three strategies to prepare for this question in advance, as well as examine your own personal career goals.
1. Focus on what you are grateful for regarding this position.
Consider the personal feelings that swell up inside you as you consider working in this job and for this employer.
Take time to name your feelings and strengths, and write out how an employer could make you feel valued.
2. Think about how you would like to spend your day and the kind of actions you will be performing.Don't focus on the specific job duties. Instead think about how you will interact with your co-workers, customers, and anyone else who crosses your path.
Take a moment to write down those thoughts and think about what it would feel like to love your job and the company where you work.
3. Try setting some goals as you visualize yourself in this new position.
Take a moment to focus on your personal and professional values, write them down, and formulate a response to a modified version of this question such as "What is going to be important to you in your career in five years?" or "How would you like to see your life/career differently in five years?"
Develop Your Answer
As you develop some personal career goals as well as a strategy about how you want to achieve those goals, you're now in a better position to be able to answer the question, "Where do you see yourself in five years
Hopefully, the more you really think about your career in this manner and take time to visualize how things could improve for you personally and professionally, the clearer things may become.
By focusing on personal and professional values, you will be able to formulate a believable response that will give the interviewer a positive impression of your strengths, attitude, dependability, and potential for success.
