I'm thinking 2weeks to take a break (travel) and take 2-3months to leetcode and start interviewing. Would the gap indicate a red flag to the hiring companies including small to large corporate?
Reason why I want to quit to leetcode is I'm getting bullied at my current company. I tried all my options that I can think of to restore the relationship but the new hire whom I need to partner with is extremely difficult to handle and he's playing the chicken game where if I don't die you will die.
Ppl suggest me that I should keep my job until get fired or hired but having this job and thinking about it somewhere in my brain really drains my energy. I really want to leave. I have no visa issue or money issue. I can survive atleast 6months without any income.
Could anyone confirm this:
1. If I have a gap between the latest job and the new potential job will it be a red flag to small to large companies?
2. Has anyone done to quit to leetcode and had bad or happy endings?
3. Has anyone been bullied at a company due to the new hire created a toxic culture and environment? Can you pls share your experience and how you overcome?

Bullshitting through standups is pretty easy unless you have a manager who really knows their stuff. I'm not even advocating that you completely blow off your job, but even just ~2 hours of real work a day will buy you a lot of time.
I grinded like crazy, got an offer from Amazon more than doubling my pay, and gave them a start date 2 months away. Did all my vacationing in that time. You'd be surprised how long many companies (especially large ones like FAANG) are willing to wait for a good candidate.
Thanks for the advice.
I think 2-3 months is too long unless you're really unconfident with your interviewing capability, or you can't dedicate 8 hours a day to study.
I recently quit and studied for 2 weeks, interviewed at 6 companies, got 6 offers, and increased my TC by 50%. It's the best time ever to do it now with remote work.
Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t done it personally since I’m on visa but if you have the option to do it, go for it! You can always tell them you quit to take care of your mental health. Companies understand that these days.
2. No but have thought about it
3. Have not, tg
Thanks for the detail
