Does carrer gap matters?
I am in a very difficult situation were i have to move back to my hometown due to family member's health constraints. As my company is not flexible with wfh i have decided to resign and i am actively giving interview bt i dnt have 1 month left for my notice period to end. So my question is there are job in the market for data engineering but once i will start to have a carrer gap of 3 to 4 months will I be getting calls and if they get to know i have gap will interviews be scheduled? Any HRs here please help with whats the policy company follow for women in carrer gap of 4 to 6 months

No, it doesn't matter. Most companies do not care about few months of gap.
I have taken 1+ year long gaps, and still found jobs after that. You just have to be able to explain the reasons for the gap, and show that you used the gap period in a useful manner for upskillng and doing certifications etc.
Also, approaching companies through employee referrals after a gap, helps a lot in getting interviews. Good luck!
