Ask HN: Is it okay to have a short gap of unemployment on your resume?
Here's my specific scenario: I'm moving to a new city with my spouse who just got a university position. I'm a Rails and Java developer with about 5 years experience. I have a job now at a large corporation and 1. they won't let me work remotely, and 2. I want out anyways. I'm pretty sure I have a job lined up in the new city, but haven't been able to apply to and interview as many companies as I'd like to have, and the move date is approaching. Is it ok to have a gap of a few months on your resume? I'd like to move and be able to take my time choosing a new position. Thanks!
