从导致我在谷歌职业生涯结束的过敏中恢复过来——我该如何重新开始？
三年前，我被一只孤星蜱叮咬，导致对哺乳动物产品过敏。这个病症在三年内被误诊为严重的自身免疫疾病。在那段时间里，我大部分时间都卧床不起，依赖药物治疗——没有任何项目、学位或工作的成果。发现真正的病因后，我已经恢复，但我的职业生涯却陷入混乱。
我毕业于滑铁卢大学，在谷歌工作了六年，专注于搜索技术。在生病之前，我对自己的职业发展非常满意。
现在，求职市场与我记忆中的完全不同。我该如何重新启动我的职业生涯？
1) 我应该在简历中提到我的病假，还是等到面试时再解释？
2) 我已经搬到一个生活成本较低的地区，并在这里有个人关系——我找到一份与我之前职位薪资相当的美国远程工作的机会有多大？
3) 我应该如何最好地准备面试？我喜欢阅读教科书，想要重新开始做个人项目。
4) 目前最需要哪些后端工程技能？
5) 除了我现有的LinkedIn、大学和工作关系外，还有哪些有效的网络拓展方式？Discord似乎很活跃，但聚会和会议感觉帮助不大。
非常感谢您抽出时间阅读和回复。

Three years ago, I was bitten by a lone star tick and developed an allergy to mammal products. It was misdiagnosed as a severe autoimmune disorder for three years. During that time, I was mostly bedridden and on medication — no projects, degrees, or work to show for it. After discovering the true cause, I’ve recovered, but my career is in disarray.<p>I graduated from the University of Waterloo and spent six years at Google working on the search stack. I was very happy with my trajectory before getting sick.<p>Now, the job market feels completely different from what I remember. How can I restart my career?<p>1) Should I mention my medical leave on my resume, or wait until an interview to explain?<p>2) I’ve relocated to a lower cost-of-living area and have personal ties here — what are my chances of finding a US remote role with compensation comparable to my previous position?<p>3) How should I best prepare for interviews? I enjoy reading textbooks and want to start doing personal projects again.<p>4) What back-end engineering skills are most in demand right now?<p>5) What are effective ways to network beyond my existing LinkedIn, college, and work connections? Discord seems active, but meetups and conferences feel less helpful.<p>Thanks so much for taking the time to read and respond.
