I took a career break in 2023, and I'm still on break, that's how easy it is in the current job market🙂

How long should it be to be considered a career break? I took a break of 6-7 months last year, it was harder than expected to get a job. Getting interviews was the hardest part.

In case you are forced to take a career break (eg layoffs), please don't share layoff as a reason during interviews

people still bias their judgement and consider you as an under performer or having behavioral issues etc.

Not always. If it was a mass layoff that was publically acknowledged then no harm in sharing that. If the recruiter is still stupid enough to judge you for that then they're rather doing you a favor for you

No, never acknowledge the layoff. Indian hirings arent so mature. Trust me green “open to work” rings failed so bad in India.

Job is your boat in the ocean.. better not to jump in ocean till you dont have other boat beside you..

Got to work on a personal passion project for 4-5 months before returning, but long story short, it's always been one of the most memorable moments of my life.
