No employer will hire an applicant knowing that they weren’t planning on staying in the company for a long term. That would result in a poor investment on their behalf, so by answering that you plan on staying short term will only hurt your own chances. There is no need for specifics, generalize an answer around your long term commitment.
-“I am committed to staying as long as I can. As long as my employer can appreciate the 110% I am continuously giving into my work, and give me room to grow intellectually and professionally, I wouldn’t have any reason to leave. I find that it’s actually a hassle to change jobs or companies.”

Avoid exact time frames; provide more of a general response such as "I plan to work for as long as we both agree I'm excelling at my job."
