I'd leave the FAANG stint out, but I was working full time during those months I was employed and didn't really have much time on the side to work on side-projects. Wouldn't it be worse to have a year long work gap without too much completed code on Github from that time to back it up?
I've been waiting to get things going full-speed again in January since December is a bum hiring month.
- probinso 7y agogaps are only bad if you aren't doing anything. If you can confidently defend the gap, or show proof of work then that ends the questions real quick.
- yellow_lead 7y agoI'm not super knowledgeable on this, but like the other commenter said, if you can't define the gap it's not great. My only concern is people are looking at your resume and saying "this guy spent (about) less than a year at his first two jobs, there must be something wrong with him". Perhaps you could look to get in front of that subtlely in your cover letters though. Going heavy emphasis on the acquired bit could help. People will understand this happens with acquisitions through no fault of your own.
