If you had the option to take a voluntary leave for one year's worth of salary would you take it? Have been at the firm for 4 years and have gotten good performance reviews to date. Trying to figure out if it is a better option as if they are offering it I may be likely to be let go as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Your firm is offering you a years salary to take a voluntary leave? I guess I’m not seeing the downside. Am I missing something?

Guess that's not a problem though!

Yes….. if healthcare is also included.

I’d take a couple weeks and start looking for something new. Maybe use that as the opportunity to try contract or entrepreneurship for 6 months. Use it to live an adventure for 6 months that you’ll remember fondly.

Does include healthcare too luckily

One year is a good chunk of time to find a great job. You might be in something new within a month or two, and have that 10 months of salary to do what you'd like with. I'd take it.
