Why do you want to quit your current company?

My answer: They are paying me less (how do I better put this?) and I want to move to the west. It didn’t work in my last two interviews. Please help.

Pay is not a primary reason to leave. Well it is but not to then.

Relocation is a great pitch. They can help or they can't.

Flip the question around - don’t answer why you want to leave your current job. Your answer should highlight what you love about the job you’re interviewing from (it will also imply that you’re not getting enough of that at your current job)

UBS 1 :

So far, I didn’t mention pay is the issue in my previous interviews. I do have another reason “Less innovative work place” but these two (location, less innovation) reasons kind of not working. Just breaking my head to put these in a better way.

Well, I asked the hiring manager. Sent her a mail that I want to talk to her for some feedback. She was generous enough to tell me the reason. “Your reasons for quitting wasn’t convincing enough. You sounded like you love your current job”.

Hmm maybe you didn’t phrase it right. Usually people just say it’s not a good fit due to culture. Then you can point out your firm not being receptive to innovation as an example.

^*** interviewing for not from

Location and better pay is a totally valid reason

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.
