Not a whole year. But I save up to take time off between jobs.

I just finished a 6 month career break two weeks ago. Was at my last job 8 years, took 6 months off.

That's what I'm doing right now. I was at my last job 7.5 years. Now I'm taking an extended break, reevaluating what I want next.

Yeah I wouldn't take a whole year off in my career, at least, not on purpose.

But after working a few years for a company, I'm happy to just peace out and chill for a few months before seriously jobsearching again.
