Can you answer Salman R’s question about Careers?:

I am a scientific coworker and have been doing PhD-reseach in Germany for 1 year.

My prof. has a bad mode and i do not feel safe with here, she sometimes threaten to evict me and end my job although i am performing well.

I have a baby and always think of my baby, whet will hapen with him if i lost my Job, i am not a german and do not get any money for the baby. so i decided secretly to quit my job and search for another phd offer in Germany, i got an invitation for interview with another prof. in Germany in an adjacent city, this prof. may have relation with my prof. (i am not sure), but i expect the first question when we meet, “why do u want to leave ur professor?”, i do not know how to answer such a question, do u have an advice or intelligent answer to say?

my meeting after tomorrow and i would like to listen to advice as can be so i posted this question several times

    Careers Feedback: Just tell them you want to gain more experience, and take on new challenges.

    Careers Feedback: Tell them you are ready to move on and you love a challenge and you feel this company can offer you just that.

    Careers Feedback: I would be honest. If you’re not honest about your decision to interview out and they do have a relationship, your current professor will be honest. You’ll look like your admitting fault by hiding the fact that you two don’t get along.

    Careers Feedback: I would tell the new professor the truth. I have done it and it worked for me before. Making up stuff might kick you in the butt later. Be honest. If he asked tell him what has been going on.
