Hi Fishies,
Looking for any reviews/suggestions regarding Pubmatic. Most important is the tech stack and learning aspects.
Big data technologies(Scala-Spark etc) and Java.
Also in discussion with Impetus and Autodesk (via third party i.e. Applicantz).
CTC is not a concern right now as what they are offering is enough for me right now.
Any suggestions would be helpful

Tell the truth, lies will come back and haunt you!
Why are there gaps in your history?
I saw you had a response but deleted it I guess to keep it private. Totally understandable and I’d try to be transparent if asked but spin it in a positive light. Laid off due to company performance and then trying something else out.
Tell them I was in Yale
For the most part, I'd say just be honest. If it's something you're not comfortable sharing, taking time off to pursue more education/training is always a good one. Or if you had to care for a family member, most employers are understanding about stuff like that.
In general, try to fill in with as much truth as possible but just balloon it as needed. Some examples I’ve used:
-Doing very sporadic freelance work: start and end dates, only mention ‘part time’ or ‘freelance’ if required by a form
-‘Caring responsibilities’ (or whatever the preferred term is in your country, that’s the UK one): If they ask for detail, something along the lines of ‘I had a relative who needed support with a difficult situation (mention ‘health’ or ‘disability’ if applicable). I’m not comfortable sharing more than that but the situation is now resolved’
-‘Time off to travel’: Try to quantify as much as you can (eg number of countries/states visited or distance traveled).
