Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take an extended break from your career? Let's explore the concept of sabbaticals and why they might be worth considering.

A sabbatical is an extended break from work, traditionally lasting anywhere from a few months to a year. It's a period of time when professionals step away from their regular job duties to focus on personal growth, learning, or pursuing specific projects.

Sabbaticals can be either paid or unpaid, depending on the employer's policies.

When paid, sabbaticals typically provide either full or partial salary continuation during the leave period.
