You need to get a pro (or skilled and trusted mentor) to examine your resume and how you are communicating. Right off the bat, saying you are in your mid-20's with "8 years of experience" sounds not quite right-- like you're stretching a bit. You absolutely might not be, but that's how it comes off.

Big traditional companies frown on too many 1-yearish stints. The first couple of jobs, sure that's OK, but 5 in a row is a red-flag for many. They will wonder if you're just going to be there for a year and then vanish.

I didn't see it that way, but the consensus in this thread is that I'm absolutely stretching. Which is very good to know and something actionable to fix. My roles have been getting longer with time, the short stints were when I was a student, e.g. I quit at a job so I could accept a big name internship, which was an opportunity I couldn't miss.
