A little OT, but I wonder what recruiters / interviewers think of people who took time off to bootstrap their own business but ultimately went back to applying for a regular job. Having the option to go back to working for a big corporation is a good safety net, so it would be an important factor if taking a year off would drastically reduce the likelihood of being hired again.
