How much time did you take off in between one FAANG job to another?

I'm moving from Google to FB and the recruiter and hiring manager don't mind if I start in late August. Should I give notice to Google now and take the whole summer off? Does that create a weird resume gap?

Other advice?

  • Enjoy the time off. Nobody cares about a 2 month gap in your resume. Your older self will thank you

    If you’re concerned about health insurance, make your last day at Google on the first of a month. Your coverage will last til the end of the month.

    Take time off. People understand and most are jealous of any time off you are able to get. You won’t get that much time again for a long time so go enjoy it. Life is for living.

    Enjoy life my friend! If FB is okay with that you should be happy… nobody will judge for the gap, not now, not ever! Good luck and congratulations on the new job!
