Why not talk about money? If you can’t think of any other answers, isn’t it the truth?

like

Lot of options:
- Want to work in a more strategy-focused role
- Looking for a more challenging job so you can grow more
- Talk about why you like the company better

If your ONLY motivation is money you may be able to express that in terms that hide the fact elegantly. Godspeed

New clients? Any sort of change of focus, even if the general strategy work is the same? Difference in values/mission?

What do you mean by career progression? Like you want to move up a level? Isn’t that as bad as wanting more money?

Thank you all.. these suggestions are really helpful... my challenge was that the BCG role is very similar to what i do now but your inputs will help my articulate my answer better.

OP I just did the lateral move from M to PL so I’d be happy to talk more about what I said in the interview, feel free to DM me and just give me an idea of where you are at D right now (portfolio, practice, etc.) and what you’re interviewing for at BCG and I’ll be happy to give you some input!
