I am just returning from a 10 month sabbatical, my second deliberate one in the past 5 years, and one of several career breaks I have taken since I started working in tech in the late 90s. I also highly recommend it. For me weekends and even annual leave doesn't reach the same level of relaxation that I can hit when I know that there is no job hanging over my head, and no countdown to when I need to return. (Running out of cash would be a fairly hard limit, of course, but in our industry it's easy to put enough money away to live without work for a year every few years.) One thing I don't feel is that these sabbaticals have necessarily been some kind of radical life-altering experience. I pretty much just did the same stuff that I enjoyed doing anyway, but I did it entirely at my own pace, with zero pressure or stress. I'm not really seeking enlightment, I'm just seeking peacefulness. As I am getting older, I am thinking that perhaps instead of doing my usual 1-2 years at a couple of different companies and then breaking, it might be nicer to have a consistent job that would allow me to break and come back. I have returned to two companies in my employment history - one after spending a year overseas, and another that I returned to part-time as a remote freelancer during COVID. Unfortunately I don't think many companies are inclined to offer this as a formal benefit, especially in countries where months-long parental leave isn't a thing. I suppose people who enjoy these kinds of sabbaticals and come back refreshed and hopefully more productive are still enough of a minority that it isn't seen as something that would be in a company's interest to promote.
