Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

And where do you see yourself in a few years?

A: Where do you see yourself in a few years?
B: Ideally leading a small team and mentoring juniors.

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: Where will you in five years?

Say: Where do you see yourself in five years?

Use 'do you see yourself', not 'where will you'; the verb 'see' carries the idea of imagining the future.
