Curious what you tell people you do when they ask? Does everyone know what a sabbatical is? I’ve been on a long sabbatical myself but I don’t feel like people would understand that so I usually just still say software engineer. Btw feel free to email if you want to chat sometime. I haven’t especially productive so it would be great to get some inspiration.
