Is it bad that I rehearse my "why do you want to leave" answer more than my actual pitch? Every version either sounds fake or too honest. What do recruiters actually want to hear when we are just done with our company?

True, the trick is sounding grateful while plotting your escape. “I’ve learned so much” translates nicely to “I’ve hit my limit.”

Oh no, it’s definitely good to prepared for this question. You know it’s coming so being ready for it is key.

Exactly, rehearsing that line is survival. You never want your “why are you leaving” answer to sound like therapy.

I would spin it to make you look competitive. There’s not enough growth, you’ve reached your skill capacity with the role and are looking for a new role to challenge you, apply your current skills, sharpen said skills and grow your tool box (skills).

Perfect. I will just say I am upgrading my skill set, not fleeing a circus.
