Burnout is real, and taking a career break can be a great way to reset. A good rule of thumb is to save at least 6–12 months’ worth of essential expenses (rent, bills, food, insurance, etc.), plus a little extra for unexpected costs. You can use emergency fund calculator to get a clearer idea of how much to set aside for unexpected occurrences while on break. If you’re not sure when you’ll return to work, having a cushion beyond that is even better. Also, consider health insurance and any ongoing financial commitments.

Maybe try to go on no pay leave instead

What about taking no pay leave for 6 months instead?

Take it easy, think positive. Too long for your career...
