Anyone take a couple months break from work to apply and appear for new jobs? I’ve been in the same job for years and will need a lot of interview prep and certifications to upgrade myself to find a new job and I feel with my current project and other non work commitments I am not able to find the time to study. Considering taking a break to prepare but SO thinks otherwise.

Take a two week vacation. During that time take some time for yourself while preparing to interview and get certified. When you come back don’t put 100% in and use Fridays to take certification exams and interviews.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
