Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Asked in the HR stage, this question probes whether you have a thoughtful direction without expecting a rigid prediction. The interviewer is assessing your motivation for the Software Engineer role, your willingness to grow with Arista Networks, and whether your goals align with continued technical contribution. A strong response should connect your development goals to the work you want to do, explain how this role supports that path, and show flexibility as your interests and the company evolve. Avoid presenting the role as merely a short-term stepping stone or claiming certainty about a specific title.
