You need to work somewhere, literally anywhere, for at least a year.
Hiring and on boarding is expensive, such that virtually no software companies are getting any ROI for someone who is there for two months or less. I get you may have had impact early on at these places, but I guarantee they all still lost money on you.
tldr; on paper you're a losing bet, build a history of being a winning bet and more companies will come around.
