Good timing.
I am in a similar boat. Will not elaborate much publicly but I was disillusioned with my work and quit to pretty much... do nothing, and develop my creative skills until I absolutely have to work. Definitely don’t have a great “story” to pitch for my next job on why I have taken so much time off or what I have been doing with my time, but I have an opportunity to work on software that should allow me to get back on my feet without too much interviewing hassle.
- sshine 8y agoI was in a similar boat in 2017. Quit my FinTech job "because I was just making my bosses money" and didn't do much work for a year. Got addicted to Crossfit and cocaine, travelled to the USA, Vietnam and Norway, and lived off Bitcoin. The one thing I achieved was completing the last course to get my CS diploma. Then I got a girlfriend, took a job, switched out the social circles, and started going to therapy. I can make that year look like I was exploring, but really I was trying to escape some local optimum with some rather stupid strategies. I'm happy my current employer didn't ask much about what I'd been doing recently, and that I can refer to my current job when I apply for my next job.
