How you answer this question will reveal a lot. The interviewer wants to understand your outlook and how you deal with authority. If you were let go, admitting it and explaining your circumstances will say a lot more about you than concealing it and having it come up later in a background check. If you're moving on because of differences in opinion, that's okay too; just be honest and don't speak poorly of anyone at your current company.

Don't complain about your current company, supervisor, or colleagues. Instead, focus on wanting to pursue growth or change, mentioning all the aspects of your previous/current position that you look upon favorably.

"When I started working with my last company, we set expectations for the direction of my career. Over time, the needs of the company shifted, and they relied on me to develop several new departments. I'm proud of my contributions to our growth, but these inevitably steered me further from my goals. We accomplished a great deal together, but now that the dust has settled, I want to take the valuable skills I've developed and steer my career back on track."
