I just finished a three month vacation between jobs and I agree. Getting (what felt like) so far away from my career, I really got to interrogate my dreams, goals, and plans.

I’m still battling with some tough realizations from this time, but I am glad I had the opportunity to do some self exploration.

Even though it’s not in my contract, I am going to negotiate a one month sabbatical every three or five years where ever I am working.
