Thanks for digging into this on your end. Yeah, that 7 year stint was with an outfit wherein I was the constant, and everyone else kept coming & going. The 3 year job, I got canned for an overtime dispute; and they replaced me with two people after. The rest are a mix of layoffs or other reasons for not staying: I'm not one to just "quit". Give me the right org; that's not overly worried about being cheap, or has too many people coming & going; and I'd be happy to stay. Otherwise, I feel like my career has been more or less a "firefighter" vs a "builder" (I had to do both in the 7 year job). I hope that makes some kind of sense?
Makes perfect sense, and that's a good answer when it comes up.
