Hello all, new to SDN. Recently accepted to MWU's CDM. Just a question for you all. How common is it for recent graduates to "take a break" (ie. work) before starting a residency program. Also, what is the maximum time a graduate can take before applying to a residency program before they are looked down upon. Sorry if this question has been posted before.
