I have around 5 years of experience as an L2 support engineer. I was recently laid off along with several other colleagues as the organization is currently restructuring. Please suggest if I should take 5 months to skill up ( for software development) and then search for jobs or join as an L2 support engineer at another organization as soon as possible. Would the 5 month gap affect my career significantly?
