What type of work do you do? I run a small consulting company that builds web apps for biotech, and we’re always looking for help. I suffer from similar problems so I’m sympathetic to the situation you described.

> I have a similar constellation of problems and never found an employer willing to tolerate it long term. I can put large volumes of high quality work for 3-5 weeks at a time followed by 2-4 weeks of a low output slump. I usually get fired on the fourth or fifth cycle, freelance for a while, then try again.

This sounds 100% like me.

I currently work for a healthcare company in the mental health space. We’re definitely hiring. Shoot me an email, and we’ll see if we can’t get you into the interview process.

Larger enterprises should tolerate this better.

Yes, but some small ones do very well.

Those of us who are like this are a “good value” to them - both in terms of relative pay, and because we tend to be VERY loyal when we find a “home.”
