What’s an “acceptable” reason for seeking a job offer with a competitor? (If a recruiter asks...thinking “more money” isn’t the right one haha.)

Lmao this is hilarious bc I’m applying for jobs to EY and literally the only reason is for more money. Like I don’t have any questions for the interviewers aside from what’s the salary band and performance bonuses like lmao. I wish I could just ask the questions I really wanna ask. I don’t give a shit about new opportunities or collaborative environments or whatever other bullshit. I am literally leaving for 1 thing and that’s cold hard cash. Instead I’m here trying to think of bullshit questions and answers to try and make seem like I want EY on my resume over Deloitte for some reason. Jfc man

i dont see why more money isnt the right reason. recruiters dont seem to like that one but honest truth for most people is MORE MONEY and that shouldn't be a problem. If you feel your value is more than what you are currently being compensated, why would you not leave...for MORE MONEY. but we all usually lie and say stuff like more opportunities, experiences, wanted a change etc.

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?
