Dear Ruchi,
It is difficult to give a "one-size-fits-all" answer to this question as there are several genuine reasons for a job change. The most important thing is that you must sound genuine in stating your reasons and avoid coming across as insincere. Be frank and candid in presenting one or more reasons such as a higher salary, a change in role, a larger role, a reputable company, flexible working hours, etc., which are true reasons in your case. The key is to make the interviewer believe in you.

Dear Richa Kumari,
I have not noticed such a pompous answer in the Indian context as suggested by our friend Narasimhan, but they give different answers. Mostly, they mention career growth, less increment, family issues (relocating to a nearby place), and personal problems.

In a job interview best policy is to be honest.
Never crib about your boss or bad mouth your company.
Have a pre planned, authentic response.
Answers can range from: I am looking for a new challenge in my career, learning a new industry or focus area, or needing to find a new job because of relocation—those are easily relatable answers.
New stage in career or what you want to create through this job etc are also good answers.
If you have studied the new company well and are aware of some specific problem try to relate your skills to those problems and how you can sort them out.
But be very careful and diplomatic in this line of answers.
This kind of question is common about why you want to leave your current job,so need to have realistic and honest answer is paramount in your pre interview preparations.

Dear Richa,
The possible reasons for a job change could be as follows:
- Career Growth
- Change of work profile
- Change of place of working (if the present company transfers you to a location you do not like)
- You want a more challenging assignment
- Salary growth
You should be as honest as possible in answering this question and try to avoid listing salary growth as the primary reason, although in many cases, this could be one of the main reasons for a job change.
