Ok, now do it for someone with 5 and 10 years of experience.



That question is easier with experience, because you know more about how positions look like in practice and what you disliked in the past.


Here's my honest answer:

I don't know, because based on my experience, your company won't even exist as a separate entity five years from now, and if it doesn't lay most of us off before the acquisition, the purchasing company will just afterward. So I'll probably be sitting right where we are right now, answering the same question again. But maybe--just maybe--the company will last that long, and grow, and I'll be sitting in your seat, asking it. But since I am where I am, that obviously hasn't happened yet.
