I took a gap, not to hack specifically though. planned for 6 months, then all the layoffs happened, 6 month break turned to 18 in the end. I think because of the layoffs recruiters just stopped reaching out in general. Now that Im working at a household name company with linked in updated they still don't reach out. The recruiters I talked to though were almost all on auto pilot. Theyd ask "why are you leaving your current job" and variations and I'd be like, well I haven't worked in a year. Or just ask me about my last job and I wouldn't bring it up that I wasn't working. Not working felt amazing, the interview process made me hate working all over again and I didn't even have a job.
