4 months tenure followed by a career break
Hello, I need advice.
Last February, I resigned from my last work as a Senior developer due to unmet expectations, despite completing all my tasks on time and completing adopted backlog tasks of the team that they had been trying to complete for months.
My manager then only relied on others' feedbacks rather than actual work. Negative feedback was written, while positives was only given verbally. Chaotic git workflow (team proposing changes even after feature ticket has been closed and tested), adding new criteria to master even not in ticket requirements, led to so many conflicts and at some point pinned down on me, my suggestions to improve the workflow were ignored despite having led several teams in the past.
The feedback form even included non-work-related issues, such as not participating in Christmas parties and team outings. It became clear to me that my new team was distant toward me and that I wasn't a good fit for the team.
I decided to resign before my probation/regularization period ended. I chose to leave rather than stay in a team where I felt that hard work was not valued.
Took a career break since then and upskilled massively on microservices and cloud architecture.
For context, I have 8 years of prior experience:
company A 2 years 3 months
company B 5 years 5 years
company C 4 months
I have now ended my career break and is seeking for a new company. I am curious about the perception of a four-month tenure followed by a long career break
