For IB, it would be very challenging. But not impossible.
thank you for your advice. Wanted to follow up and see how long would be an acceptable time for career gap
Personally, I think mental health / health in general is more important than anything. Frankly you don't have anything if you don't have health. I took a break with nothing planned because I just needed the time off. You will have to be braced for uncertainty, etc., and you def will get some pushback when you recruit, but if you have solid skills and believe in your story, it will work out. After I left my firm I didn't have super concrete plans. Spent the first three months sort of just unwinding. And then started recruiting as I go - was planning for up to a year of unemployment but found a job within a month and a half (so break ended up being a lot shorter than I initially planned for). But a huge part of that I think was the conviction I had in telling my story - and as long as you feel confident about what you are doing / saying, eventually people will buy it. Good luck.
