How long were you at each job? I doubt that making a move to another startup was a major hit to your career even if you aren't the team lead anymore. Stick it

Stick it out and ask for more leadership in your current position. Probably looks worse if you make a commitment and then decide to back out on the job a few months later.
Would be good to provide aprox timelines for all of this as well.
- mark_l_watson 15y agoThat is the key question: how long on each job? I am going to show my age here but I think that it is in general, given no extreme extenuating circumstances, it is not cool to stay less than a year on each job. I have worked for four bosses on three different occasions each and another two or three bosses on two occasions each. Look out for people and they may look out for you. As much as possible business should be a win-win situation. I understand that most companies don't put employee's welfare at the top of their priority list, and I believe that we workers are responsible for shepherding our own careers, but all that said it is best "to always make money for your partners" (to steal a line from the Godfather movie).
