I suppose you can go back to any of the previous points in your CV as a software professional in today’a day and age if you never burned any bridges. Especially so if you make it obvious in your current job that you’re only leaving because it’s time to try your own thing - if it doesn’t end up working, people are likely to be very understanding.

It's not like I'm doing nothing for these upcoming years.

Dunno what you're doing wrong if you can't land a job with a built-from-scratch internet search engine on your resume.

But can you pass LeetCode :-)

In general all you need is an explanation for a break in work history and there are billions that will satisfy interviewers and HR; at worst just say “health reasons” and then sue when you don’t get the job ;) (/sarcasm)
