To provide the other side of the coin - this is a scary job market to voluntarily jump out of right now. If it was 2 years ago then you'd have no problem when you return to work, but right now...I hope you have close to a year saved up, because it could take that long (or more) for the tech job market to turn around. Or you have some brilliant credentials and accolades in your 2 years of experience. There are people out there with 15 years of experience who are having a tough time getting a job. Sometimes works sucks and we have to power through the burn-out phase. It's possible to make it through to the other side without taking a break. I've done it in the past, although it was a rough couple of years to deal with. Therapy seems to be offered as this like ultimate solution to all problems, but it doesn't always work. There are other things you can try as well. What about a change of pace? Maybe a different project at work? What is it about work that has you burnt-out?
