Millennial here and I've been doing this my entire adult life. If companies had better vacation policies and a less boring work flow, I'd be less compelled to job hop every year or two.
They ever ask you about your repetitive gap on your resume?
No because the last time I worked a job that that a proper interview process was over 15 years ago.
These days interviews mostly go like this for me:
"This is what we expect from you; does this sound like the kind of job you'd like? " I say "yes" and then a week or two later I'm working. The hardest part is landing the interview. On average it takes about 200-300 applications before I get a single one.
Sounds like a huge pain
Well that's what the job market is like now, so if yours pays well It'd be best to stick with it.
Own your own consulting firm which helps this occur anyway.
But it was pre-Covid the last time I made this work, I finally got in with the idea of steady jobs - they pay you like, $2k every couple weeks just to sit in a little room all day... ok I can doomscroll in a different place for a while if you're going to pay my bills
