I got laid off this Wednesday just out of blue.No negative feedback prior to this ,just a random video meeting invite from manager and lol :)
Although a manager in devops with whom i had worked previously offered me a position but i choose to take severance and start afresh.
I have below queries for fellow blinders
1) I plan to take 2-3 months off (working on my physical/mental health,managing young kid [ Wife is doing good professionally ],LC and System Design etc.
Will this employment gap affect resume screening in any way ?
2) Do i tell honestly to recruiter/Hiring Managers that i was laid off or do i give generic excuse of family/health reason.
3) I am inclined to better WLB. so will be focusing on Microsoft, Salesforce kinda workplaces.
Please let me know companies with similar workload.
TC:0 :) [42+6L stocks]
Yoe:8.5

Atleast in my offer letter its 3 months, is it based on level?
What is severance package you got bro
They are hiring like crazy and offering 50-70% hike with competing offers. Glad I didn’t join them.
Take a break, OP. Spend some time with family, spend some time on LC/System Design.
Then take a shot in Employee Centric companies like MS, Salesforce, Google(non-cloud teams)
But i still believe, because it’s G/MS, they’ll take a step soon to make life of employees better.
Just if it matters, I'm a CS grad from a well known NIT and previously was an MTS at Oracle.
