My thoughts: your timing is bad. I also took the last year off to recover from burnout and this is the worst I've ever seen the market. But since you have experience it's still doable.

Since the market is bad you'll have a harder time getting responses even if you were currently employed. Try to tailor your resume for the job (I know, really common advice but right now its not optional).

Then the first question you'll get is what were you doing the last 4 years. Nobodys really wants to know, just brainstorm a good sounding reason. Health concerns, relatives, you started a startup or something, whatever.

And then interviews. Slight positive note, Leetcode problems were starting to slowly decline and being replaced with more practical programming interviews so you may get lucky there. I'd say only study leetcode once you have an interview setup. Failed interviews are practice too.
