Hopping too many startups in a row?

So you switched a company 3 times in the last 2 years and now you’re trying to do it again? That gives roughly 8 months per company. So you onboarded yourself, worked a bit and started sending the CVs again?

That sounds like a huge loss for the employer.

> Being clear that it wasn't a positive sign to them. Is it really that strange, or were they maybe used to bigger company culture and expectations?

The question they’re asking themselves: What is the chance that you’ll be staying with them at least 3 years.

Based on your CV: close to zero.

I think he's saying he has been moving to the next company within 2 years after starting a job. Not all 3 companies in 2 years.

Let's wait for them to clarify. If it's 3 companies in 2 years, I'd not bother them. If it's a third company where he's leaving at 1 year 11 months - it'd look completely regular / fine for me.
