I've never taken more than a day/weekend between jobs. I've been in the workforce for 10 years, 4 jobs, 1 and 2 overlapped by a week, 2 and 3 overlapped by 3 months, and I took a weekend off between 3 and 4. Work is a reality that you can't avoid, and if you're not excited to get started at your next job then why even switch jobs.
- whichdan 13y ago"if you're not excited to get started at your next job then why even switch jobs" Why does being excited about a job preclude you from being able to take a vacation? I started a new job recently, and while I was excited, I took a few weeks to visit with friends&family, took a trip to Montreal, and spent some time away from coding and computers. It was a great time, and nothing would have been different had I started work a week or two sooner. @OP, if you can afford it, take a few weeks to enjoy yourself!

- xauronx 13y agoI guess, I mean, I love software development and even if I were at home I would be doing it. Also, if I were leaving my day job to start my own business and I... wanted time off before doing it, I would be very concerned I was making a bad decision. Anyhow, I've been fortunate to have jobs with awesome PTO. With 20+ days of PTO I didn't see the necessity of going a few weeks without a paycheck.
