Any tips on how I can dance around the "why are you wanting to leave your current position" question? My current office is toxic and I hate my manager, but I don't want to say this to hiring managers, right?

The answer they are looking for is something to the effect of, "I'm looking for more opportunities and room to grow." They don't really want to know the actual reason, they just want to see if you're going to trash your employer if you are given the option.

Came here to say this. Never trash your current/previous location. Always looking for more opportunity!

I’ve learned a lot in my current role and I’m grateful for the experience. Over time, I’ve realized that the opportunities for growth and advancement are limited. I’m looking for a position where I can continue developing my skills, take on new challenges, and contribute at a higher level. That’s what attracted me to this opportunity.

Yes, this is perfect!!

Leave your current company out of it entirely. Keep the conversation squarely focused on your excitement for the new position and the opportunities it'll afford you. That's what recruiters and interviewers want to here. Sharing office drama with them will only make you sound bitter, even if you're 100% justified for feeling that way.

That's right. You're not leaving a company, you're seeking to join one. Make them sound irresistible!

You have a lot of ideas on how to work differently and increase value. Your current team is not as open, so you are looking for a space where you can grow, drive change, and deliver meaningful impact.

I wouldn't say this. Leave the other company out of it entirely.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
