If you had the option to go for a two month sabbatical, where would you go? I am trying to figure it out and am struggling. Would love to do a tour of Asia but wanted to get some more advice. This trip would be in 2 years after my 7th year at the firm. Do not plan on leaving anytime soon though.

Took a 3 months sabbatical last year. Was incredible and I would not change my choice.

Were you worried about your job being available to you when you got back? I really want to take advantage of Accenture‘s future leave benefit, but I worry that I will lose my spot on my project if I leave for three months.

I’d do split it up between a Europe tour and then Asia as well. There’s lots of groups that do long travels like this and handle all the itineraries and travel. More expensive than doing it alone but you’ll be with a group and don’t need to worry about plannning.

I love Southeast Asia. It’s affordable and very relaxing

Well my family is from Asia, and if I had that much time I’d go there for two months just due to the time to travel to that side of the world. I’d probably visit a few countries nearby as well.

My husband and I did a three month trip around Southeast Asia. Absolutely incredible area, the people, the food are so wonderful.

I get one next year. Wife wants to go setup in a small European town as base and then travel to a few places from there. Let’s see how it goes.

I lived in Europe for a while and absolutely loved it. It's so much easier to travel and explore new countries and cultures when you're not in the United States. You can basically take a train and be in another country within a couple of hours, it's amazing.

I don’t think it would matter where I was going. If I could take a two-month sabbatical, I would absolutely do it. I’d probably choose Italy—I’ve always wanted to visit.

I would spend half the time in Eastern Europe and the other half doing a loop from the Canadian Rockies to Vancouver down to San Diego. If I had a third month, I might bounce around South or Central America a bit.

I’ve worked at the same firm for almost 5 years. I’ve received an end of year bonus of varying sizes- my first year, my paycheck was doubled. The last 3 years, I’ve received 25k-30k bonuses. This year I received a bonus in April (20k) and one in July (15k) but I still expected an end of year bonus. I didn’t get it even though this has been my most profitable year yet. Should I just assume those earlier bonuses were INSTEAD of an end of year bonus or should I ask my boss?

My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?
