Hello Everyone, I am a pharma graduate and was working with a leading Pharmaceutical Company (among top 3's) in India as a Brand Manager. After 2 years of experience I took a gap year and I am currently preparing for CAT and other Management exams. Also, simultaneously I am working with an YouTuber/Influencer on social media who does commentary and analysis of football as a sport on YouTube. I manage social media, PR, design and merchandising for him. Along with this, I assist a small clothing/lifestyle business with marketing, social media and design.
I am worried if I don't make it in a decent college after CAT would I be able to rejoin the Job Market considering the Gap Year?
Would appreciate your thoughts ladies and gentlemen!
Could it also be if I were to change my industry and look for a marketing/influencer marketing role at major clothing and lifestyle brands, good things would happen? Please guide me in the comments!!!

So, Companies like Myntra, Ajio, Swiggy and others would value it! Is it?
Nope. I am talking about google Microsoft amazon etc
See if you can get any employment proof (I don't know what freelancers do) from the YouTuber/Influencer. Because that's a whole different domain but still brand manager work. That's not really a gap.
For HR purpose - even MBA purpose, you need to present it as it is. A different domain exposure
They are going to give an "Internship Certificate" as of now. Would that be alright?
For both influencer and the lifestyle business, see if the work you did is intern level. It may not be
