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?
