Have you ever taken a sabbatical? If so, for how long? Did you return to the same job or find a new one?
I’m trying to save as much as possible to take a sabbatical and travel for a bit but am worried about the job situation after. My husband and I want to rent or buy an RV and travel the country with our dogs for 6 months to a year.

I make $100K with 12% bonus and was offered a role $130k with 15-20% bonus. 4YOE in provider industry.

I am in a comfortable spot with a good team but the work is dull, new role would be consulting with more work & travel

I would appreciate pros/cons etc! Thank you.

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot.
