I'm sorry, that sucks.

I've been out for nearly 5 months now, and I'm starting to feel anxious about my domain-specific knowledge fading / getting stale.

I'm hoping to stave that off via interview prep and practicing coding problems. But I'm wondering how long it is before hiring managers start to assume my knowledge / skills have atrophied.

I'm starting to appreciate the old saying, "It's easier to get a job when you have a job."
