What will you do if you are offered a job with a salary higher than this?
Recruiting a candidate costs money to the company so they would like to hire somebody who has some loyalty towards the company. You can answer this question by saying that though you know the attraction of money every job offers but you would first try to analyze the growth opportunities with both the jobs.
If your present company can offer you the desired growth with the industry trend, you would not switch. You will discuss the issue with your senior and ask his views on your growth in the present job and if you see that there is a potential to grow in the present job, you will stick otherwise you will politely inform him about your decision to move ahead in life.
By asking this question the interviewer tries to analyze if the candidate will leave the job for a couple of thousands.

- There, you now are being tested for consistency. A simple "I won't give priority to money over loyalty" would be a big lie. At the end of the month it is the paycheck that counts. However, you should assure them that you would not simply switch job when a better opportunity presents itself.
If you are happy in the current job and you know that it is the right position for you with your skills and qualifications, you wouldn't quit a job for a few hikes. You answer should tell them that a prospective growth in career is what you would seek and not just some hike in salary. However, give them the idea that you would approach them when an opportunity comes and would discuss the hikes.
At the end, be honest and tell them that a switch in job would only be an option for you when you find better growth options and that you would discuss the same with the managers before taking such a step.
