What is your reason for switching roles?

Question

Why are you looking to switch roles or leave your current company?

What the interviewer looks for

• A forward-looking, positive motivation (growth, scope, technology) rather than only negatives about the current job
• Self-awareness about what you want next
• Fit between your goals and this role

Tips

Be honest but professional. Avoid badmouthing your current employer; frame the move around what this role offers that your current one cannot.
