I've taken two Sabbaticals on my own, self funded: https://penguindreams.org/blog/leaving-full-time-jobs/ https://penguindreams.org/blog/leaving-full-time-jobs/ However it was a struggle to get work this time, which is probably more dependent on the market I moved to than anything else. I decided I probably wouldn't make this jump again unless I had something lined up. I liked that she was able to delay her start on this project and she away even given unpaid leave from her employer. This might be a great option the next time I decided to take time off to work on BigSense. I know a professor who is trying to get me a fellowship at his university back in Ohio. If I could get one of these three month grants, combined with a fellowship, I could probably line them up with after I'm through with the big project at my current job, to make a nice transition into moving back to University and working on my PhD.
