Ask HN: What do you consider resume red flags?

Thank you for your follow up. 5 jobs in 22 years doesn’t seem that extreme to me, especially if you had a legit story to go along with it. Do you think the company you work for now only wants you for 1.1 years?

Out of curiousity, in what region do you live?

I'm in the Pacific Northwestish area.

I'm a consultant these days, so yeah 1.1 years is actually a long time.

As a consultant, I suggest not putting each job on your resume as a separate gig. List "2012-present Software Engineering Consultant" and then bullet out your most important projects and achievements under that.
