Do it, worst that can happen is you make a lateral move. I just put my notice in and booked a one way flight to Prague for early June
Agree yolo it and do it. Things always work out in the end.
Worst case you end up back where you are now or somewhere similar
I would advise against this. Why not just take one incredible vacation every year for the next 10 years?
I’d say taking some time off to heal from burnout (assuming you mean the actual condition and not as a synonim for tired and bored which it is not) is necessary. However quitting your job and taking a sabbatical might be a stretch. To be honest 150k savings sounds a bit scarce to me, if you use a good chunk of them in this one year (as it would be likely) this might put you in an uncomfortable situation later (maybe you’ll want to buy a house or have a family?). I’m European so probably have a different culture in terms of savings :) Also, it might or might not be easy and quick to find a new job when you come back. So it boils down to your priorities and risk aversion I think
$150K of savings is a good amount of savings in USA at 28 years old. Especially if that doesn't count 401k
Do it. I’m 38, MD, spent 24 months out of college as a dirtbag backpacker. Won’t regret it, just focus on enjoying and not stressing about return. Return could be bumpy if recession bound but as someone said, worst case lateral move ain’t bad - career acceleration can be done when back in cockpit
I did the same thing at 24 and don’t regret it at all. The experiences you’ll have travelling will give you a great deal to reflect on and you can return to the industry a very new person.
That’s an amazing amount of savings for 28. However, I think you’d regret blowing through the whole thing. May travel 3-4 months somewhere amazing but not too expensive (even with nothing lined up). Use the time to not only relax but reevaluate what you want out of life. Maybe use some of the savings as capital to start your own thing. I think there’s a lot of opportunities that if you’re willing to learn and invest some of that $ that could lead to more freedom and even if you have to work very hard, less burnout. I wish you the best and hope you are able to figure out what’s best for you!
Oops meant to say “maybe” not “may” lol
I agree with Trader 1. Plus, we are heading into uncertain economic times over the next twelve months. It could be harder to find a job a year from now, especially from unemployment, than it is today.
I did the same after serving in the military. Took a year off and did whatever the hell I wanted to. Was amazing. Finley once I hit the year mark did I start looking for jobs again. Took 5 more months to land a job and I’m back in the groove like nothing happened, but with a great mindset and fun experiences.
Do it. As soon as I saw “burnt out” - do it. My philosophy on this is that when a person is exhausted he/she cannot perform really well and will waste any opportunities that might come up. I’ve done it when I was in my late 20s. I went to Europe for three weeks. It changed me. Now I have a family and also changed my outlook on work/life balance.
Once you realize that you are burnt out - you owe yourself a reboot. Take that break and also once you return back to work - make sure you have time to decompress and recover during the week. I have a little one - still not getting enough sleep, but I work from home once a week and it helps me to “recharge”. That’s my advice - do it - also create a somewhat good work/life balance once you return back to work. Good luck :)
DO IT - life at its core is just an experience. Why spend it living an experience you don’t enjoy?
One thing that puts my mind at ease (27 in similar fashion to you) is having confidence that you got there now you can get there again. Live 🤘🏾
Just do it — you are young. A buddy of mine did it, and still came back to the firm a year after.
Take your time out. 6 months may heal. In order to not burn all your savings try a place you always wanted to go bu not too expensive. You dont need to be going pla6xe to place. Do some slow travel and be happy. I am 41 and the only regret I have is not had dome more of that in my youth. Life is short, enjoy it at 28, not at 78 😀
Do it! Obviously don't spend all your savings... But traveling and experiencing life is going to be something that you remember and treasure forever. You'll make friends, incredible memories, and might even discover a new passion that you'd like to chase.
Do it. I left a job at JPM to do my own thing in another state 1700miles away. I don’t regret it one bit.
Jesus the posts on this thread are hopeless. It’s an incredibly American thing to slave away throughout your 20s and never travel vs. Europeans who tend to do gap years.
You’re never going to be in this position again, while corporate America isn’t going anywhere. Quit your job, go see the world and come back when you’re ready.
I shit you not when I say that the understanding you gain of other cultures and Nations will probably make you better at almost any corporate profession. I regularly run rings around other analysts on macro because they’ve never bothered to leave the US.
FWIW you should start in Asia. You’ll have an incredible time and can easily get away with travelling on $2000/mo.
