> I don't like to stick to one project for a long time, which is visible on my resume, and recruiters don't like that. Have you considered the consulting industry? Project rotation is high (2-3 projects/year) but you don't look jumpy in your resume (although to be honest, I have done the same before and only once a potential employer brought it up as a red flag) |

I've worked for two consulting companies, enjoyed both but one company had me on 3 projects within 8 months while the other had me on the same project for a year and a half and only moved me when I told them I needed a change (to their credit they accommodated me, but I bring this up because every consulting company will be different).
A lot of the reasons why this variability exists has to do with the types of projects that the company takes on. In the second case, being on a project long-term, the client hired us because they wanted to outsource their software development in general and had created long term relationship with the agency. In other cases the client will just want a proof of concept developed, or a bit of additional help on a project that it is in the weeds etc.
