"I've really enjoyed my time at Company X and have learned so much, especially about A and B (relevant xp/skills). But I have the drive to continue growing, learning, and expanding on my skill sets, and I believe I'll best be able to do that at Company Y, where I'll get to work on C and D."

I really love being a part of ABC company. My managers and team are absolutely incredible. However, my manager and teammates are not the ones running the company. Some shifts have happened from the higher levels which do not align with the culture and values I have. I thoroughly did my research and I see that at XYZ, the culture and values strongly align with mine.

Culture is always a good one. “I’m looking for a more flexible work arrangement” or “I’m looking to be in office more”

I would either go the direction of I needed to grow my career and the opportunity the company had did not show the future I hoped to attain, tell the new company they have that offering. Or, it was a contract based position.

"I feel like the knowledge/skills I have is being underutilized, even with extra projects taken on. I'd like to vet my knowledge into a company where I can not only help the team but expand my knowledge-base with new skills."

Always keep it positive. I always say I’m looking for my next challenge and expand with specifics for the role or company I’m applying for

I'm in this process now. I actually really like my current role/company and make it a point to convey that, but I'm looking for more leadership opportunities and progression towards a specific end goals. Also people usually figure it out when they run my level against my experience/performance.

I feel like during the interviewing process you may have multiple interviewers and processes that go along with that, which means you may need time to compare offers. I want to be honest with the recruiter and say I am going to have to wait and compare offers when they are all on the table, which would be ~1 month.
