When would taking a break between jobs get normalized in India. If one wants to take a break, he/she needs to figure out first how the gap would need to be explained to the next company.
"I took a break because I needed it for my mental health as the job can become quite stressful as the experience increases" should be an acceptable answer and the companies should stop low balling if a candidate is capable enough.

I have a gap of 4 Months, that's on paper. And I did a Part time course for 2 years. I just say i did xx course and wanted to do better on it so left the company and focused on that.

I do have almost 89% in the second year of the course, so they don't ask further.

And i do have 5+ experience, which is hard to come by with my tech stack.

Even if they use these to reduce your worth, stick to X amount as expected, you'll get opportunities, no worries there.

28M. I have a great mattress, and also a gel foam pad on top of that. I still wake up with knees hurting and my lower back feeling “loose.” Am I sleeping incorrectly? Any tips?

I sleep on my stomach 75% of the time. Other 25% is flat on my back or on my side.

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

Even if I invest time in learning Java I can be at a beginner level.

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.
