I upvoted you and I hope your story ends up higher up in this thread as it shows how the Software Dev industry can be ruthless and merciless [Not long ago I thought it was all about solving complex problems and having fun doing it].

I also decided to quit my last job before finding a new one and I have spending more energy than I ever imagined explaining a much smaller gap on my CV compared to yours. In one of the interviews I had recently the interviewer only stopped asking questions about my current situation when I "proved" to him it was possible to survive in an expensive city like London having no income. It was very sad!

Thanks for sharing your story and it was definitely a wake up call (at least for me)!

I feel for you and I hope you find something you'll enjoy very soon. Best of luck!
