Contemplating my decision making

So, i'm on the job hunt again & i spend a good chunk of my day thinking about the decisions i have made.

  1. Quit my first job at Digit insurance because the work was super monotonous. Wanted to try something different.
  2. Discovered product management, started doing cases, eventually got an internship- Gap of 6 months
  3. Did internships at a solar company & Shiprocket, then got a full time APM job at a logistics firm- salary bump of 4X
  4. Learned that my mother had complications on her knee surgery, got severely sick & would require constant care. Quit my job to take care of her for 6 months.
  5. Explored an idea of mentorship platform, validated with 100+ people but couldn't start due to feasibility problems. Got an offer from Cashkaro next as APM- Gap of 6 months

Total gap so far- 18 months

  1. Quit cashkaro on may due to very disrespectful culture(created specifically by founders), authority over influence, severe communication gap between tech & product(no standups, no meetings, no updates)
  2. Looking for opportunities again- current gap of 3 months already

What are your views on this? Anything i could've done better? I'm asking because no matter how hard I try to explain the gaps, the eyebrows are always raised.

Getting rejected left & right, 70% of the jobs are secured for tier-1 folks & for the rest, it feels like you have to Ranbir Kapoor in Animal with Arjan vaily playing in the background(just slaughter everyone to go through)

Would appreciate your views
