I did this, mostly to start and wrap my MSCS (ML focus) and augment my data science skills. Would I have made the same decision in today’s hiring environment? Perhaps not. I was also solving for some other goals. Feel free to DM.
I’d wager that networking into a role would be best for most in your position given the market.
You might also consider trying to cut your downtime to allow for a retreat like the Recurse Center to take a focused leave while maintaining employment (still comes with risk).
