Have you worked at multiple jobs over those 10 years? As a hiring manager (working with only the limited data you&#x27;ve provided here) I&#x27;d be concerned that you value stability very highly, and you might be thrown by the rate of change (in requirements, tools used, business goals, desired feature set, etc) that is typical of a startup. Long tenure at a single job suggests you enjoy getting deeply specialized and developing mastery of a stable set of tools, which is needed at a certain stage of company but not at most early-stage startups.<p>Is that true of you? I.e. would you be frustrated by 3-4x&#x2F;year significant churn in your technological tooling and top-level business goals? Would you be excited to learn a few new toolsets? If so, why haven&#x27;t you done that on your own?
