Has anyone found a successful path to rebuilding after having to have taken huge gaps off, either after burning out and being fired, or deciding to take the time off to recover? I've burnt out, not realized I was burnt out early enough, and my productivity ground to zero, leading me to be fired before I locked in the decision to quit. As such, I've been out of work for over a year now (for the second or third time) and have ridiculous gaps on my resume as well as just being so behind in acing online technical tests, that I don't really see a path forward. I was recently turned down in the final technical stage for not linting my code during a HackerRank test, and after so much time investment and so many other failed interviews, it's like hiking up a muddy mountain in the rain. Answering the question "What are you most proud of from a previous project" is almost laughable.
