During these tough times of layoffs and fewer job opportunities in the market, do you think having a gap of 2 or 6 months would matter?

I think a lot of applicants will have some gap in their resume, given the layoffs. Some have also quit their toxic jobs in search of greener pastures, some dropped papers without offers to bypass 3 month notice period. A lot of folks with gaps (even 1+ year) in the market
Don't think about it too much. Just try to take up few freelancing projects/ do some volunteer work. Helps the CV and disengages you from the grind of job hunt.
Always helps if you have a story for the xx month gap.

I think your 4+ year exp in Core engineering domain is creating a hindrance, as you have mentioned you have 6 months relevant experience in PM space. I would suggest that you try for Project Manager roles in companies which have a bearing to your core domain, that way you can market yourself better. You can switch once market opens

I am having 6 months gap in my resume write now . last working day was 31st may 2023. And I got couple of offers but rejected and upskilled in Uiux certificate with 2 projects completed!!

Paisa nahi hai core mai !!

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
