I did 6 months sabbatical after serving 3 years as CTO at hypergrowth startup. Didn’t code. Then after several months of fulltime work with plenty of coding I did 1 year of parental leave. Both made me realize that work-life balance is that, it’s not just doing 8x5 instead of 12x6. Whoever says that you should work a lot to achieve anything, probably simply do not realize that there are more healthy alternatives. Do recruiters care? I don’t think so, or maybe it depends on the stage of your career. I personally would not care at all, if a candidate has gaps in CV.
