Ask HN: Taking 6-12 months off work?
I’ve been slowly burning out for the last couple years and basically have lost all motivation at work driving me to constant depression. To add on, I’ve been really sick on and off, sometimes for weeks at a time.<p>I’m 28 and have around 600k with maybe 65k in emergency cash. Unfortunately I live in a HCOL area in the US, but am thinking a 6-12 month sabbatical would do wonders for me both in the short and long term.<p>I’m just looking to get some advice from the community here. I have a stock grant coming up soon that should help cover at least 6 months of expenses as well.<p>I’m not really interested in finding another job first then taking a few weeks off as I don’t feel it’s the job specifically but my current state of mind and health.
