Is it worth taking a working vacation? I’m a junior. Took my first vacation in May, totally unplugged. Low on pace and received a below average mid year review, so don’t want to go unplugged OOO until Thanksgiving or the New Year. But still need to get out of this apartment and the boring part of town I live in.

Anyone have a positive experience just working from an Airbnb or hotel for a week, sneaking away in the evenings to explore?

Yeah. That’s how I did the cali tour for a month. Started in San Diego and went up to SF. Drove up US1 and everything.

Was the bad review because of the vacation?

Not likely
