Thoughts on taking a year off?

5 years into IB and currently a senior associate (28yo). Bored, tired and depressed - the work used to be interesting and now every deal seems the same. How bad of an idea is it to quit and take a year off? Would read, workout, explore new things, travel, etc. Have $700K saved ($500k liquid). 

With my experience, how tough would it be to find an IB gig after a year if I wanted to return? Focused on software with 7+ transactions closed
