Is it necessary to switch without any gap. Can't i just resign, have a break of some months and then start new job. In foreign, it's a common thing.

You can say that you were working on your startup idea instead of saying a break. Recruiters understand that startups can fail and so he is looking for a new job.

I totally agree , startup ideas usually calls for extra questions. Why take the extra stress, say you took a break due to personal or family issues

People are desperate for immediate joinees

They are not asking too many questions

My friend has gap of 2 years he gave random answer for his gap and then no one asked him second time again

One of my friend had a gap around a year after leaving his previous job and got into a good firm few months back. So yeah it's totally fine. Just be confident on your reason.

Nothing is necessary. People do it in India too.

It’s tough in the US because health cover is tied to employment. No such issues over here or in Europe / Canada, etc. for citizens and permanent residents.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Hey ZSers,

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Too many cooks in the kitchen

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
