Out of curiosity, how did you end up with 6 months off between jobs?
I would love the opportunity to take ~6 months off, but I feel scared that if I just quit, it might take me a longer time to find a job again.

Was it finding openings, getting interviews, or passing those interviews?
In my niche I’m finding that there are very few opening in the city I live in, but that getting interviews might not be too hard. Not sure how easy it would be to pass those interviews.
The fear was real, for sure, but it honestly made a huge, huge difference for both my mental health and my employability afterwards. I also got to spend some time figuring out what I actually wanted to be doing, so I had a much clearer picture of where my skills and interests aligned after, which helped the search as well.
I don’t want to be single again, but the absolute lack of concern over costs was nice.
