I've worked at the same engineering firm for 4 years. I'm currently making $161k with only a $750 bonus, but excellent vacation (4 weeks, cash out anytime, rolls over indefinitely), 45 hours a week. I have an interview with a recruiter at Guidehouse this week for a Technical Project Manager role. It seems to be focused in the government space and requires a security clearance. What sort of salary and benefits could I expect for this sort of role at Guidehouse?
What's the best way to not feel burnt out?

Do it. You never know when you'll have the opportunity again. Just save up extra for when you get back if you don't find work right away.
Rather than finding a job, you are going to have a challenge coming back to do the job mentally. The market tends to pick up in fall.
SAD's right-do it. You could also tell your employer what you'd like to do, and see if they'll work with you. People do take leaves of abscence. If you're good at what you do, you probably won't have a problem finding work.
@FCB 1 thank you, all good advice. Any suggestions on how to start the conversation?
Do it. You'll be better for it both personally and professionally
Just be open about what you're looking to do and that you'd love to come back. I had a friend take like 6 months off for a trip around the world and come back to her job. No big deal really, but she planned for the time off with her job and trained her backfill. If you're good at your job, they'll want you back but of course can't guarantee your spot would be saved. Doesn't hurt to ask at least!
Great idea!! Good luck and so to some amazing places!
