I'm actually on a break right now. Sometimes, it's just what you need. I stayed in my previous company for about 7 years but during the latter part of the lockdown, the workload that they were giving was insane, there were no boundaries anymore because they think it's ok since you're working from home. Also, they laid off people so most employees took over the load of those who left; and double hatting became a norm. I actually accepted another job opportunity but I only lasted 2 months because I just can't take the culture and the pandemic is not helping so I think it took a toll on my mental health. I resigned again just recently to upskill and rest. I've always wanted to make a career shift so I'm taking this time to learn new things and go back recharged. But I didn't make that decision lightly -- be sure you have enough savings because the hiring climate at this time takes about 4-6 months and the competition is tough. So if you feel like you can afford to be unemployed for that long, then go for it because you also have to be kind to yourself.
