What do you guys usually tells recruiters when asked about gaps in your resume? I have two related job positions when I’m applying for SDE roles but they weren’t right after each other. Do they usually ask?

    I have a 5 years gap on my resume. I was doing startups / small apps. One worked for a while (revenue generating) the rest not.

    No problem getting interviews. You can stay: ‘tried to launch a startup’ etc.

      I too have a 4 years gap. Was preparing for a highly competitive government job. But, it did not work. Don't know what to write in resume.

    Side project, taking care of personal things, travel, the usual. They usually only ask if you’re currently unemployed, or if the gap is big
