"How do I discuss reasons for leaving a job in an interview?"

Be honest but not too honest. Don't trash your current employer or manager; interviewers will always err on the side of assuming that you are the problem (because it couldn't possibly be management). You can just say any combination of the below:

  • You're looking for more responsibility.
  • You've learned a lot and are looking for a place to apply that experience to a more interesting or challenging mission or industry.
  • You're entering a new phase in your career and want to get a change of pace.
  • You're ready for more leadership.
  • You're looking for something you're more passionate about.
  • While you love your coworkers, the atmosphere / culture at the current company isn't something you can continue to grow in.
  • Never say you want more money :) most of these reasons are all polite code-words for that, anyway.
