I need advice. I am currently serving NP and LWD < 15 days. I don't have any offers in hand. Fewer calls, recruiters saying CV under screening, some not getting back after 1st round. Should I withdraw my resignation? I really don't want to stay back, burned out! But scared about career gap at the same time.

Is it okay to be on such a break? Will recruiters see that as a bad thing?

Any chance of market getting any better in Nov Dec?

Really depressed, no clarity on anything.

Don't be depressed. Approach it very simply.

Don't quit, never quit until you have leverage or another offer in hand. Market is bad, everyone says that. But irrespective I believe, never quit without having anything in hand. It could be any form of leverage.

Take back the resignation, don't take it on your ego. At least you will get some buffer time to look for another job. Anyway you are looking to leave, it's about buying that precious window of opportunity.

Mental peace >> Ego

What reasons you gave while switching career for those gaps and question like why you left your previous org without any offer in hand?
I'm facing same issue and currently on break, feeling difficulty to handle the gap and why I left my previous org question. I actually left because of less pay to get good hike if I'm immediate joiner. Please advice.

Why you are worrying so much. You can simply revoke your resignation right?

Withdraw as for now...Don't leave it without having any offer in-hand

The situation is not good in market, so better to withdraw the resignation and upgrade yourself and keep looking outside parallelly
