It is what it is

Stages of Life: 1. You’re at School and Grades are everything. 2. You get to college and your GPA is everything. 3. You get to your first job and your pay is everything. 4. You get to the end of the year and Performance Review is everything. So, essentially at every moment in your life, you’re judged by a number. My heart goes out to all those who failed at being better at this. But, I really cry for my brethren who succeeded at this hustle, for the person you’ve become. Drop your experiences down below. I’m just in a very mellow mood after work, contemplating about life’s weird quirks.

I was recently laid off. I am applying for jobs. One question that has been a bother for me is on my unfortunate past short stints. Need help from folks on how to tackle these Q's. I am applying for product / strategy roles. 2015 - tier 1 engg 2019 - tier 1 MBA 1.5 yrs - did my own startup...fairly successful but later failed due to covid 11 months - worked in a fairly well known fast growing startup - left coz wanted to move to a product centric startup 14 months - worked in product based big unicorn startup - got laid off 10 months - joined an early stage startup - startup failed and laid off again What should be my interview strategy? How do I portray my story in a positive light?
