For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

First reason about hand holding doesnt sound good. It makes you come across as someone who is potentially incompetent and you're not aware of it (not saying that is the truth).

Second reason is fine
