Does a 4 year gap ruin my chance at high finance?
Hi all,
Please please read because I feel as if I am stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. I was set to graduate from college in May of 2022, had an investment banking offer lined up, but due to a family member's worsening health, I've had to take considerable time off to take care of his mental and physical disabilities—4 years. I'm now set to graduate in 2026, and have been working part time ever since at McDonald's to keep myself busy. My questions are:
- Will a four year gap due to extenuating circumstances basically exclude me from any high finance opportunity? If so, what are my alternative best bets?
- If not, how do I explain this gap to employers on my resume? Do I list exactly what happened on my CV or do I approach it a different way?
Anything helps, thank you!
