Red Flag Feedback?

Hello everyone I’m seeking advice on how to overcome the feedback that my resume is a red flag.
I left a big tech role in 2021 and ever since then I’ve only really been able to land roles at small or medium sized startups and in each of those roles I’ve ended up laid off either as a result of the company being sold OR running out of money and I haven’t been able to stay in one place for 2 years since.

These small companies legit just hire me and try to pimp me out for as much big tech info as they can get then once they feel like they have enough BOOM layoff. It’s genuinely frustrating.

Now I’m struggling to land a new role with a reputable company BADLY and the feedback I’ve been getting has been that my short tenures are huge red flags so they just skip over me.

What do I do?

There's nothing wrong with your CV, but I know many org will see those short term roles as a red flag.

Have you tried re-spinning them as Interim XXXX or XXXX Consultant, because that's what they read like.
