How did the interview process go when they asked "why do you want to leave your current position"?

The processes went great for me, usually ending with offers. Be vague when you answer: "I've always been interested in xx field which I why I'm excited for this role." Even if the field is the same look for something that makes the roles/ companies different. "Looking for ways to diversify my knowledge or grow professionally. I believe this role will help me improve or learn xyz skills." Answer the question and then focus on why you're excited. "Why are you leaving" is the same as "why do you want to work for us"
