Problem

Why do you want to leave current org?

Asked in the Managerial stage. Explain the professional factors behind your decision, what you have learned in your current organization, and what you are seeking next. Keep the answer focused on your own goals and choices rather than criticizing your current employer, manager, or colleagues.

A strong response is specific, respectful, and forward-looking. Use one clear example to show what changed, how you evaluated your options, and why this role is a thoughtful next step rather than simply an escape from a difficult situation.
