It’s definitely possible but so many people want to “get into tech” so what will set you apart from others (with / without experience)?

Are you looking to be creative director in tech or changing to something completely different? (D&A, product, Sales etc)

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
