What are you saying about it in interviews?

This is one of those things that’s not written down anywhere, you have to “just know”.

Never, ever, even vaguely allude to mental health issues.

Say that you took some time off for family health reasons, and now that’s taken care of (implying and meaning that it no longer will distract you or take any time away from work).

In the USA nobody will ask further, if they do they are likely risking violating employment law by opening themselves up to a discrimination claim.

Also yes look outside the startup scene for sure.

Have you seen the salaries on https://levels.fyi/2020 ?
