    I have resigned from my job because I have accepted a job abroad. My current company have said they are disappointed that I didn't ask for an international transfer within my company, Should I also mention I was disappointed at the lack of promotion or is this just pointless to say and too late.

    You won't gain anything by saying it.

    It's up to you really, if you have a good relationship with your boss and friends still working there, then mentioning a lack of promotion opportunities as the reason why you're leaving might at the very least result in someone else being considered for promotion.

    Did you ask for a promotion? If you were not aware of the internal opportunities internationally were you really chasing promotions in the right way within the company?

    If you were really "promote-able" then it may be worth letting them know that you enjoyed working for them, but the speed of advancement and opportunities for development in your current role was not in line with your career plan. Tell them that you will look them up if/when you return if there are any suitable senior positions available when you return that are in line with your career needs at that time.

    Keeping your options open is the only real objective in any exit interview.

    Don't forget to thank everyone !

    In my opinion, tell the company nothing. Keep your exit interview positive. If you provide constructive criticism, you gain nothing and risk losing a valuable reference in the future.
