2. Outsourced- got forced into working at a place I hated
3. Switched jobs from said hated place after giving it a year
4. Company split
5. Company was about to outsource, so I jumped ship
I've never left a job because I was going to cash in somewhere else, my hand was forced every time. I sit at 2.2 years per job on average without ever voluntarily jumping ship.

Like I said, everyone's career is different, and that's why I qualified that as such. HR departments would be doing their due dilligence by checking as to why so much change has occurred, but often times they don't - they just see so many places and a young resume and assume you're a flight risk. That's just the reality of the situation; that said, you are fortunate to not have experienced that apparently.
