I'm really interested in how that will work out for you. What line of work are planning to go into, return to? How will you represent the decade of pro sports

  With a 10 year gap in my resume I'll probably have to take whatever comes. Ideally it would something analytical, with numbers, where I can learn a lot (I went to a high school with focus on Math and I have a Master's in Management). I don't really care about the salary. I know a bit of PHP and I am currently starting to learn Python. I worked as a technical documentarist in the past and also in a managerial (non-technical) role for an online bookmaker. During the first three years of my pro betting career I also launched my own online sportsbook but that project failed miserably. Maybe I can use that to partially explain the huge gap but I am still undecided.

    Well you have a good start. I would think that ten years of successful (i.e. making a living) sports betting would make for a unique anecdote and discussion during an interview. A strong desire for maths with an ability to tolerate programming, maybe look for a path into data science or machine learning. I see on this site or reddit or lobste.rs for free online courses for both all the time. Regardless, I wish you luck and hope things go well.

      Thank you, much appreciated. I started looking into both recently, mostly under the influence of posts on here but also upon seeing them in many job ads.
