Layed off leetcoding full time, will employment gap hurt me?
Hi HN.
So I was layed off a few months ago because of covid, and been leetcoding fulltime since. I've tried solving lc problems in the past with a full-time job but barely made any progress.
In the past 2 months I've done about 200 questions and starting to feel really comfortable with these problems. I want to reach 500-600 lc solved before interviewing, but I'm worried what a long unemployment gap might look bad and make it harder for me to find work ?
I've been in the industry less than 6 years.
