What do you all tell interviewers when they ask why you're leaving your current role? The truth is it's toxic and I can't stand any of these people or the stress, but I know I can't say that.

It's always better to focus on your reasons to go rather than your reasons to leave. Try to tie your interest to what your prospective employer offers in terms of culture, products, people, whatever. Find qualities that are attractive to you, explain what they are and why they align with your values.

You can say you’re looking for a career change or ,if that’s not the case, tell them you align more with their company values and mission. Make sure to have examples though.
