Career Resources
You mean… quit?
One route you can go is to apply for an MBA and when accepted just take time off until the MBA starts.
I've never been in IB, but still finance/big commercial bank.
That said - yes, I quit to take a year off and go do my own thing after getting completely burned out and disillusioned. Only ended up being off for about 9 months before getting back to work. I don't regret it.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "normal" but I don't think its viewed overly negatively if you can narrate the reason you decided to take off and make it believable. Do not say its because you got burned out.
