Dear hiring managers/recruiters of Blind.

I have been out of the job for a year at this point. Im a Former F-1 Student and my OPT expired and I had to leave the US. While I was on OPT I failed to win H1-B visa on two occasions. So for the past year I have been growing cucumbers on my farm.

I’m returning to the US in three month and planning to continue with my career as the software engineer.

Now the questions is, how much at the disadvantage am I because of the employment gap I have. Will that be a red flag for you when making hiring decision?

YOE: 2.5 (11 month at Amazon)
