Being out of a job for some period of time after the financial crash of 2007-2008 (I was laid off in '08). I was w/o a job for nearly 2 years which helped me reinvent myself as a web & mobile developer, self taught of course. I was a market risk associate with Merrill Lynch at the time and before that, I had been a software engineer for 7 years.
