I'm out of the job market for 1 month, and recruiting full-time now. As everyone knows, the job market isn't great - limited headcount, and very slow recruitment process. Under such context:
1) What would you recommend to do during this period, in addition to recruitment?
2) What is an “acceptable” career gap? Is 6 months an appropriate target to find a new role?
3) I'm starting to apply for lower tiers and big four, as I'm starting to get desperate. The roles are OK but not super interesting (compared to dream firms). Would you recommend having a longer gap to really find a role that is “good enough”, or to start working again soon and continue to accumulate experience, even at a less interested firm?
