Hey folks,

I need some honest advice.

I’m a Java developer(6 yoe) with a 2-year career gap and have been actively applying for the last few months. Initially, I was getting a few calls, but now I’ve noticed a complete drop—almost no responses recently.

Not sure if this is due to:

- Market conditions
- My resume/profile
- Or the gap affecting shortlisting

Has anyone else faced something similar? What changes helped you start getting callbacks again?

Any guidance would really help 🙏

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.

I have a shown the same as gap for personal reasons in my resume.

Will i have any problem after joining this new MNC during background verification as per the standards?..

Really need your help if anyone has faced this situation or know anything on the same.

Thank you

Hi
My husband and I just went through a few very difficult months. His mother passed after an aggressive disease and struggle, we had another family member pass, Covid, political climate, +. Just under the surface we are so sad. We have a very easy baby but a young child is still demanding. We are not motivated to work and I can’t figure out how to return to “normal.” I am not pulling my weight at work and generally can’t imagine being motivated like I was. Please send advice.

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about a year and it was working…but I feel the depression coming back. I don’t want to just keep upping the dosage (went from 150 -> 200). I’m not too sure what to do and therapy is something I can’t afford right now with my recent rent increase. Any thoughts or advice?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
