# Between jobs

Currently I’m between jobs. Nothing special, a lot of people go between jobs.

After working for several years on a fast-paced startup, you might be tempted to jump back to your next role. You could feel it or not, but you’re likely tired, even close to burnout.

Taking a break between jobs is not just about resting. It’s about taking a step back, reflecting on your work, and finding a new path forward.

If you’re looking for a break, take a break. And the most important thing, don’t try to plan ahead. Don’t try to have a schedule to follow. A break is a break.

I’ve already been a month in, and I’m planning to travel a bit, nothing crazy, just visiting some friends and exploring their cities. Invest time exploring my city since it’s always the most overlooked. Read a lot. Watch a lot of movies and series. Write. And if I feel like it, try to learn a few new things.
