Hey Jeff,
thank you for sharing your stories.
You wrote that you were employed in over 10 companies within 20 years.
That's about 2 years per company, even though you had "mostly really great experiences".
Why did you jump ship so often?

Yeah, some of those positions that I'm counting are contract positions. I went through the dotcom boom and bust, so many of the companies that I have worked for don't even exist anymore!

I "try" to hit 2 years as my goal for any new job I start. Right now Im at 3.5 years at my current company and I did 2 four year stints at a company in the early 2000s.

Its just kind of how it worked out.
