          I was a stay-at-home dad while my wife was a high payed lawyer, or I had to care for my elderly mother while she was dying from ass cancer, or I was doing drugs but I’ve been clean for over a year now, or shut up that’s none of your business why are you even asking this shit for a job that requires no education or experience!?..

          “could you tell us about this 10 year gap in your resume?”

          People lie to get higher paying jobs, lie to get a lower one:

          5 year a Accenture doing Full Stack Development = 5 years at Accenture doing data entry

      Is your experience IT exclusively, or do you also have (even rudimentary) programming experience? Industrial automation is a great option. I feel blessed, having started from below the bottom (not all people are fit to be parents!) working as a metal carpenter while still underage, to have managed to get into this field, through hard work and, most importantly, a good amount of luck.
