I usually don't comment on HN but needed to ask you: How did your framing work? And can you elaborate "learning my own limits"?

It's been 8 years since I graduated. I started working at a Bank in a Management Rotational Program with great manager but dropped it within 4 months because young me dreaded being pigeon-holed at 9-5. I joined a promising startup but... the co-founder unexpectedly passed away. Long story short, I have had 6 jobs (incl. internships) within last 8 years: I have lost jobs for one reason or the other (startup folded, directions changed etc).

In good times, I am able to appreciate diversity my experience but I feel undervalued; I am more of a "jack of all trades, master of none" and feel I've taken 2 steps forward, one step back in my career. This has also damaged my professional as well as personal interests. In early 30s now, I crave moving to a more stable job/corporate but feel typecasted as someone who's worked at early-stage startups most of the time; this economy hasn't been kind when it comes to finding work either.

It can be worthwhile to have two resumes/stories for the same facts:

One is Vibgyor5 the startup wizard who has assisted with multiple early-stage startups and is ready to go again!

The other is Vibgyor5 the corporate 9-5er who by happenstance ended up working at a number of companies that are no longer operational.

While I have been tweaking CV according to specific roles, your comment made me realize I should overhaul these categorically for different audience. Appreciate your suggestion!

The frame was rebuilt by reading "Master Your Emotions" by T Meurisse. About the limits, just don't.... Good luck.
