Anyone here take a gap year/sabbatical after consulting? What did you do? (E.g. travel, find temporary work, volunteer, etc.)

I looked for other jobs and had a nervous breakdown in the process. Please don’t do what I did.

A1 wait for the offer. I got into a really long job search cycle, and this is a period in my career where I really was looking for building momentum at a larger organization. If you follow McK guy on a different thread the same thing happened to me.

Not a consultant but did a sabbatical between career one and career two. I did all of the above activities and it was magnificent. You will not regret refilling your tank.
