You’re looking for a job because your current role crushes your spirit. If you go on and on about a soul-crushing position to anyone else when you’re job searching, it will hold you back.

Anytime you discuss something negative in your current role, it makes the interviewer wonder if it’s the situation or if it’s you. Since it’s her job to manage risk and avoid bringing on someone who won’t do a good job, complaints about a current role come off as a red flag.
