Was just reading an article about how a resume gap of over a year is like the kiss of death if its over a year.  I'm sure some truth to that but is it overblown?

Let's say you have a great resume and big list of achievements and are burned out.  Like service partner at respected law firm.  But you are 45 and have saved a bunch and have a few million in the bank.  So you spend a year hiking the Appalachian trail and visiting your aunt in Korea or whatever.  Then you look for a new job.  Are you like done?

What if you start a business but it fizzles?

Anyways I'm not at a law firm but the rest of the analysis is true.  I could take a break at 45 from a financial standpoint and then come back and do more.  Or I can just push to 50 and have more than enough and pretty much just admit I may be walking away from full time work for good.  Is option #1 reckless?[/quote]

Most people still have contacts in the business, whatever it is. So not the kiss of death at all. [/quote]
