What about all your jobs that you only stayed a year or less at on your resume? Has no one questioned that? Do you have any explanation for such apparent job hopping? Not that I blame you...

Well, I have worked on mostly very early stage startups. Very rarely in a big corporation except my last employment. After that I have been working on my own startup.

As you know things change a lot in startups. Statistics show >95% of them fail. Hence the jump. I am not saying I jumped because they fail. But you work in a startup not because you want it to be next run of the mill company. You work in a startup so that it becomes the next Google.

But if my senses say that a company is not going to become next Google, I move on instead of wasting my time and companies time and money. I am not sure whether I answered your question but its more philosophical than anything else.
