How much of a leave of absence would you consider alright to be on a resume? I am considering taking a year off of work and currently have 8 years of experience in management consulting for US. Would a year off be problematic or is it generally accepted by firms now more than the past? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Took a year and half so far. Will see

Just do it if you can afford it. I’ve done it before and there was no impact. Just say you wanted to try starting your own business for that time. The challenge is your job will prob not be waiting for you so you’ll need to search for a new job

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
