Hi everyone, I’m a Senior Frontend Tech Lead with 11+ years of experience. I’ve been on a career break for the last 8 months due to personal reasons. My tech stack is React, Next.js 15, TypeScript, and Tailwind.

​I’m applying for Senior/Lead roles in Bangalore. Despite having strong brands on my resume and being an immediate joiner, I’m hardly getting any calls.

1. Is an 8-month gap a huge red flag for a Senior Lead role in the current market?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Please don’t feel disheartened. People with no gaps + even with Naukri pro 360 are not getting ANY calls, literally zero. It’s not you. Guess it’s just the market now and many fake role openings

Yeah, I have 6 years experience and earning only 10lpa as a full stack developer. Bought Naukri 360 pro, searching on LinkedIn, Naukri, indeed, no luck. Sometimes it makes us feel like we have some problem but actually the problem is with the corporate system. Anyways, stay strong, keep trying, you will get the best u deserve

I had two rounds of discussion (more than a month ago) and the recruiter informed me that they’ll be scheduling the HR discussion and then be rolling out the offer.

It has been two weeks now and I haven’t heard from the recruiter nor has my HR discussion been scheduled.

The recruiter does not answer my calls or reply to e-mails.

Has anyone else faced this while interviewing with KGS (Customer Advisory)?

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
