What do you need? If it’s a break, then take it. If it’s a deferred start to the offer on the table, negotiate that. I’m just back from a 3 month burnout-related medical leave and have decided to voluntarily leave without another job sorted. I, too, am nervous about this market, but have enough saved to invest in more time off and the ability to make a clear-headed decision on what’s next. I suspect you have a strong network and tons of supporters. Choosing yourself is always a good investment. I wish you wellness and clarity. You are not alone.
Thank you!! It feels good to know I’m not alone in this. Good luck to you!!
I’ve taken a couple of breaks and it’s always been completely fine and not affected my trajectory at all. DM me if you want to talk more!
I’ve taken a break. Did some fractional work to “stay connected”. Happy to talk. It hasn’t hurt in the long run.
I took a whole year off to recover from burnout and be off the hamster wheel as long as I could. I ended up starting my own business and taking classes. It was amazing. I hope to do it again someday.
Congrats!!
