I quit yesterday. I just said I've accepted a job with another firm. Then they usually asked me why and I gave them my reasons, more money, less travel, want a career path out of audit. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

It's your career. You don't have to tell them reasons if you don't want. Be comfortable as this is their job to deal with it

I wouldn't worry about it. You aren't the first or last person in this scenario

Oh, ok, so maybe I won't give reasons up front since they will want to ask anyway

Thanks everyone!

Emphasize the "I really appreciate the opportunity" thing
