Ask HN: What to do if you're sort of a “graduate” but are past the 1 year cycle?

I feel more people have this question. In my case, I took a long vacation because I didn't know the 1 year cycle was a thing. Then interviewing became hard and it took a long time for me to find any job. Suddenly you're having a 2 years resume gap.

Is it still possible to apply for graduate positions after you're 2+ years in?
