I lost my job because I didn't advance fast enough to escape restructuring.

I'm going in for some interviews, how do I tell the interviewer that I want a chance to advance and grow, rather than work a low level job in perpetuity?

How do you spin that without seeming selfish?

That doesn’t seem selfish to me. But that last part seems a little rude, though. Just say the first part about growth and leave out the sarcastic second part.

OP here, I mentioned that I desired advancement, they ended the interview and sent me a "We decided to go with someone who aligns with our culture" email.

Tired of being seen as a fucking bad person for wanting a better life.
