The interviewer is looking for red flags with this question. Candidates who talk about salary or disagreements with management are not likely to be hired.

Tiffany McPherson

Even if the salary is part of why you are looking for a new job, do not mention it. Instead, focus on positive things like desired career growth or increased responsibilities.

Tiffany McPherson

"I've been in my current role for three years. While I enjoy the work I do and I like my employer, I'm ready to take on more responsibilities and learn new skills. My current company is small and there are not a lot of opportunities for advancement or growth. That is what led me to begin looking for new opportunities and why I have applied for a position with your company."
