I have 1 YOE as an SDE I in Amazon. Not a big fan of the team and not liking my promo chances. Burnt out and thinking of quitting and taking some time off (6mths - 1y) to travel and experience life while I'm young. Basically a gap year since I never did that during college. Maximizing TC is not my goal. I'm just worried about how this will look on my resume and future opportunities. Does anyone have experience with gaps in employment early on in their career and how it affected their job search?
How do you have enough money with 1YOE to travel for 6-12 months???
I would be going to live back at home (much lower cost of living) and taking a few trips during the time off
Bump
Just make sure you do one Leetcode a day while travelling so that you’re ready when you’re back.
I took one year after college to travel. Not a problem at all.
No. They are short of people.
