I used the search bar before posting but couldn't find anything that closely matched the question.
I am happy in my current position, but as a general rule I like to interview periodically to keep my skills sharp and see what other opportunities are out there. I have been an IC at the same company for the last ~6 years and have been successful in that role. At the moment I don't have interest in going into management and would rather stay an IC.
In almost every interview I've done, they ask if I have goals to move into a management type role. Does it hurt me if I say I don't necessarily see that as a goal, and that I would prefer to remain an IC? Or is it better to get that out the first time they ask so that expectations are clearly set?
Would love to hear what you all think!
