I've just come across this HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34958102) about sabbaticals which is fascinating and exciting to imagine. But I wonder if it is all true. So I'm calling everyone who has ever taken a sabbatical!
- Why did you take the sabbatical in the first place? What made you consider it and eventually muster up the courage to take it in the end?
- Did you take an income while on a sabbatical?
- What were the positive benefits in hindsight related to work, relationships, family, personal meaning?
- Did you do any projects while on your sabbatical? What was the biggest benefit from it?
- Did you return to your old job? Did the sabbatical have an effect on your attitude when you returned?
- Would you have done anything differently?
- Is there anything bad out of the sabbatical that you didn't expect?
