I managed to convince my boss to grant me a two-month unpaid sabbatical from work. Some of my co-workers advised against it, for I was risking my job, with no certainty that it’d be waiting for me when I returned. Others thought two months were a little too long to be on holiday. Some felt I was too young to feel burnt out. Others were more supportive and claimed that a few years down the line, they might risk it too.
