McKinsey & Company I have had enough and have been thinking of taking a mental health leave. Would someone know how many weeks can I take and will it be unpaid? Alternatively, can I use short term disability (STD)
I will use this time to think about whether I want to come back to the firm or declare search? Will this mental health leave/ STD be reduced from my search time?
Would really appreciate some input here

Good luck. Also consider getting counselling. Maybe just career and/or a psychologist could help.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
