I live in MI and work remotely.

I live in MI and work remotely. Have a zoom interview coming up with a Canadian university that would be WFH but would require a move. That’s a big move. An anticipating the “why are you looking for a new job?” question when I’ve only been with my present employer a year.. Could one of my reasons be that the current political leader here is an ass (would not use that word, of course), or should I just stick to how great their university is, new adventures, etc.? The political climate is a true reason.

    I would not openly discuss politics in the interview but I think it’s reasonable to touch on certain aspects of the current administration that are negatively impacting you in your current role. (Ex: if you’re affected by any budget cuts or research restrictions) I also like

    to review mission statements before interviews too. It’s helpful when you have to start explaining why you would be a good fit and can relate to their mission and values.
