Ask HN: Startup to enterprise and back to startups – how?

I started my career 15 years ago in a startup. Worked there for 4 years and went from zero clients to over a 1k enterprise customers. I learned a lot and it's still the job experience I'm most proud of.

Somehow I ended up getting seduced by a position at a big name IT enterprise, joined other enterprises and now working remotely for 3 years for a medium-sized company.

I think companies look at my 8 years at big enterprises and think I'm not a good fit for a startup. The truth is, I never felt at home in enterprises and was always fighting the processes and complaining. Go figure.

What could I do now to make myself more employable at startups?
