Hi All,\nI started preparing on Leetcode 4 months back. I got a job offer 2 months back from an MNC but I was not statisfied with the compensation and wanted to apply for better companies. I had 2 months of notice period in my current organisation and I thought maybe I will land a better offer during that period. But due to some unforeseen circumstances I was not able to focus for more than a month and now I have no other option but to join. However I am still preparing and bettering my DSA skill/knowledge. And I am certain of being prepared for FAANG companies in 3/4 months if I stay consistent. And I want to start reapplying in 3/4 months, the only issue I see is , what do I say to the recruiters when I start interviewing again? Will I be considered a job hopper? Does big companies(FAANG/Microsoft) really care ? What reason can I give to them? Any help on this would be appreciated. Please feel free to share if you have any insights or have been in the same situation. I have worked for 2 companies so far(one for 2 years, and the present one for 1.5 years). Thanks.
