Ask HN: Taking a few months off?

Hello All,

I currently feel the burnout from a stressful project and commute that I have been doing for about 2 years. I started as a consultant with the idea that it would be a short gig, but ended up in a leadership role. I know this is something that is not to complain about, but this opportunity has afforded me an opportunity to take a few months off before looking for another job. I want the communities thoughts on quitting a job without something else lined up (based on my current experiences, it seems like the market is still quite ripe for developers) and how would future employers look at taking a few months off to myself. I would try and work on side projects and continue to learn the things I feel I am currently weak on, but won't get an opportunity to learn at my current project. Thanks All!
