4 years career gap is not uncommon for a mother of two, so your situation is definitely not unusual and not a red flag of any sort. I personally wouldn’t care much about it as long as you can show your skills on the interview. My advice would be to catch up with some modern stack and look for a junior to mid-level position in some established company, ideally European one — they usually respect work-life balance more. Don’t try to get a lot of money quickly, build confidence in yourself first and make sure you have a job that doesn’t stress you out. Look for diverse and inclusive teams, they have less potential for developing toxic culture than boys-only friday-pizza-and-beer ones. What stack to choose? I’d go for the one that offers more choice (i.e. good old Java), but you may also follow the Haskell advice - maybe there are great teams in this field too. |
