What does it say to Faang recruiters if I were to quit my current job that I've been in for 8 years (different roles same large manufacturing company), take a 3-6 month break, try other things(business, entrepreneurship, reading/courses) and then leetcode/apply after other approaches have failed? Does it impact my hireability a lot at that point?
- aix1 5y agoI wouldn't expect the gap itself to be a major issue. That said, I do think it's generally easier to find a job when you already have one. That also puts you in a stronger negotiation position (although getting multiple competing offer could be a way to mitigate the latter). Anecdotally, there seems to be a lot of hiring going on the at the moment. I sit on a hiring committee at a FAANG and things have been very busy, though this could also be due to lots of committee members being on vacation.
