Quitting my dev job to travel
Currently have a great job working in big data / ml. Really in demand. I'm 27, 3 years experience, bs math/computer science. If I were to quit and travel for six months, how hard would it be to get me back to here? How negatively would employers look down on me?
- atsaloli 10y agoWould your boss rehire you in 6 months? Do you have to quit? You may be able to just take a leave of absence or extended holiday at your own expense? Why would you want to get back to being a corporate slave? I'm working on building my own company. Freedom! :) I'm taking a three-week impromptu vacation right now.
- kellens 10y agoWhere do you live now? You could consider getting a job in Europe, working in the same field. Once in Europe it's incredibly easy to travel around. With some employers you get 7 weeks of vacation, and some areas have mandatory 35 hour maximum work weeks, which means you have plenty of free time to travel.
