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"

My response to this question is often that I'm currently contracting and my contract is coming towards an end. Therefore, I'm looking for new opportunities.

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job.
