I haven't had heard it in interviews, but I've been asked several times by former managers in performance reviews.

Do they want the truth? "I'd like to be managing you."

As a manager I would definitely want the truth. There is nothing wrong with drive and ambition, so why hide it?

As an ambitious interviewee, I assume by default a significant risk that, were I to reveal the depths of my ambition, you'd consider me a threat to your ambitions and reject on the spot.
