Speaking from the perspective of an interviewer (so assuming you pass the HR filter) it wouldn't be an issue as long as: 1) you had a good story why it was not a fit for you, and 2) why moving to my company, in contrast, is a good fit While I say "story" above I don't mean something untruthful but rather a concise, credible, and compelling narrative. Concise - because you want to quickly get through this part of the interview and onto the "real" stuff. Credible - because you want me to believe it. Compelling - Because you want the narrative to show a transition to why you are interested in this new company and demonstrate that you are not just "looking for any port in a storm".
