I normally take several months between countries/jobs/companies. Road trips, sight seeing, selling unused items on eBay, cleaning the house, getting rid of excess weight, etc

Normally not a problem.

 

We need to normalize taking even 2-3 months off for those working more than 2 years in IB. It is a necessity in order to start strong in your next role.

I have not taken a vacation since college, and I am TIRED AF
