I think if u need to take a break then go for it.. but best if h can take no pay leave while still have a job secured.. having emergency fund like the rest have said is impt to have a peace of mind while ur taking a break.. one of my colleagues told me if u or your family is not depending on your salary to survive, then best to rest for the sake of your health.. health is hard or can

never be earned back, money can..

Supposing you have enough funds, would you quit your job to take a break? I think i'm on a verge of a burn out but i feel guilty becos there are people worse than me.

I am leaving a job soon and would like to take a short few months break before my next job to recharge my mind and body. What are the pros and cons of doing so? Thank you.

What would you advise a fresh graduate, not just in this particular cohort, but also in any normal year? Is it fair to criticize fresh grads as strawberry for not taking just any job that comes along?

I know that not every job is perfect. How can 1 heal from 1 office job to starting another office job? i think i got work trauma

Feeling lost and very discouraged. I can't seem to get the job i want. Should i wait out and take a break or just take up a contract job.
