I went into boat detailing for two years after a mental health breakdown of 20 years in SysAdmin/DevOps/SRE/CTO/whatever the industry wanted to call the guy who always caught all of the balls.
It paid the bills and was a great seachange for a while for me to get my head back in check and learn boundaries of work/life balance.
I'm now back in a DevOps role the last year but things are different now. Mostly my attitude and expectations.
If you need the break, take it. The market will pick you back up when you are ready.
