Uhhh, I’d be put off by this ask from an interviewer. My response would be along the lines of ‘progression happens at different stages and timeline, one can progress without a title change and there’s a lot that comes with it. If you have to explain to them further than a high level, you’re better off not even being on their team beyond that.
Some places promote after 12 months which I wouldn’t agree on, those titles can appear as a wash. Some places are matrix like ey, you can progress to Sr 1,2,3 etc. also, there are some places that have ppl in Analyst roles cuz there’s no business case to change titles (e.g., one one sr Analyst, 1 manager, and 1 sr manager, etc
Totally agree. Some companies give promotions out like candy, others don’t promote at all.
One thing I’d add to M1’s answer is to explain how your responsibilities grew into the level you’re interviewing for. Maybe add how you’ll continue to grow
Something along the lines of "I was concentrating on expanding the depth of my knowledge/experience in X field/area/industry rather than targeting promotion".
However I'm in the UK and this isn't an issue as you can just lie about getting a promotion as employers can only provide your last job title and dates of employment on an employer reference.
Although i would also file this with the "maybe I don't want to work for a company who asks questions like this" column.

The question is fair, imo, especially in fields like consulting where at many places if someone is not promoted in a certain timeframe, it is a sign that they are a below average performer. Not a 100% reliable sign, but a sign nonetheless.
I would tie my answer to why I was interviewing. I recently left consulting for industry, so my answer would have been along the lines of "I didn't want a promotion. A promo would have shifted my role from problem solving and team leadership to sales, and that's not where I wanted to take my career. In fact, that's why I'm interested in this role, because it allows me to continue problem solving with greater ownership and larger teams, without a focus on sales....".
M3 I think it’s a very fair point that it’s in the company’s best interest to train interviewers to ask questions to get the full picture and not overlook talent due to assumption or bias. However, there is inherent bias whenever you’re trying to quickly assess a candidate.

“Unfortunately, I was overqualified.”
"Key senior people who were strongly supporting my promotion unfortunately left the firm in my promotion year"

That's not a fair question because it's not always in your control. I had a job once that explicitly stated that they were slotted for X engineers at level Y and if they already had X, then you were SOL unless somebody left.
That's why you're moving anyways, right?
I would just say that internal growth opportunities were limited, you're an ambitious energetic individual and you're seeking opportunities where you can keep growing.
Is "last role" your current role?
As I thoroughly enjoyed my last role, I had been focused on my health and well-being. I am looking for new opportunities (or left) after realizing the company and I are not a good fit. I am eager to bring lessons learned to my next role.
Best answer:
Thanks for asking. I was hoping to downplay this. I’m not into fake trophies or rewards.. I did X, Y, and Z (accomplishments) which didn’t get recognized. Nobody was promoted for their efforts which told me somebody was going to have to die or be promoted before I was going to be promoted for my hard work. It also served as a warning that perhaps the company was struggling because I had been working at the next level for x years, which was even acknowledged. So, with no other options, I decided to start looking externally.
How do you reward hard work here? And based on what you know, is there any weakness in the company’s expansion plans that would prevent me from being rewarded for my accomplishments?
