I recently changed my Job after 4.5 years and that was first switch. I was holding offer from 4 companies, almost every HR from second offer asked me this question. My answer was, "When I was working I never bothered about compensation & designation much. Right now it's time for me to think about it as I have options, again I won't be changing job for another few years". "Oh okay!" was the response of HR followed by offer letter within a week. Even HR knows 70-80% switches are for better compensations, also you can add all the crap about company values, ethics, work culture or so on.
All the best!

Thanks 👍

You can mention it directly that you're looking for the better oppotunity.

Don't worry you're not the only one who is working for money.

Everyone in this world works for money.

Be confident. All The Best.
