Should I take unpaid leave to travel for 3 months?

Did it two years ago. Financially tight but mentally transformative. Came back sharper and got promoted 6 months after. Zero career damage.

Took a 2-month unpaid break. The mental reset was worth more than the lost salary. Some things money cannot buy.

Frame it properly to your employer — personal development or a specific project. Most managers respect clarity.
