Would you be honest in interview?

I am on the hunt for a new job after a RTO mandate. I was hired fully remote but because of the RTO, I’m being told to comply or else. I don’t work anywhere close to an office so I can’t even comply if I wanted to (don’t get me started on how unfair it all really is).

I’m interviewing and the question comes up – why are you looking for a new job? I want to be honest and say unfortunately I’m being impacted by a RTO mandate. But, I’m afraid that could be a deterrent?

Feels more organic and authentic to be honest but I don’t want to hurt my chances of being hired. All the roles I’m looking at are either full remote or hybrid. I’m trying to stay in the same industry so the conversation always makes it way back to “this is truly the work I love doing blah blah blah”
