Yeah that totally makes sense, I understand why potential employers would have concerns. For what its worth, I was at one company for 4 years and about 1 year at my previous company prior to getting let go. I hope the tenure at my first company demonstrates that I'm not just a job hopper and do prefer to stick around and grow.

You might not be a job hopper by Bay Area standards.

I've been at the same place since 2005.

Not many places want to train you and reveal trade secrets, only to see you disappear.
