After 1 year gap how to make a comeback in the current market ?
I have a 3.5 yoe from one of the WITCH company I left my job last year to pursue something else but that did not work out. I was already unhappy with my role back then, I was working bullshit support role with no exposure to software development. A few months back I tried to learn Data Engg. tools (because my friend was working on it) and tried to give some interviews but failed as the interview standards have gone too up.
All this stuff and some and some personal issue put my mental health to dogs and I was in a very bad mental state for a few months. Just came back to my home town and got out of that state but now this anxiety of gap and unemployment is stressing me.
I also think about taking CAT and pursuing MBA but looking at the current market that too seems a scary bet. I am now exploring Agentic AI related stuff to get into similar roles.
What else should I learn and what strategy to follow to get in as soon as possible. Thanks.
