I have an interview with a HR recruiting manager at PwC. I just left my job last month (and not allowed to disclose the reason). I was only at the job for six months, Can I simply just say I realized it wasn't the right fit without raising any red flags?

I had conversations before I accepted the offer with this person, so just looking for some confirmation that simply saying I made the wrong choice with respect to pay and culture is acceptable.

It's my first time
