I plan on doing exactly that for the following 6 months (quit my job, taking a break to address burnout and reorient): nothing.

I wouldn't call adressing a burnout a Sabbatical but a sick leave, a Sabbatical is choosing to take time off work for a project, not needing to take time off work for your mental health

Sorry that you're there (And use the health issue as an explanation for the hole in your CV if they ask)

Agreed, expressed it incorrectly, the burnout is nowhere near the main reason for my taking time off. I needed to take a break from Adult Stuff. I mean, last time I did anything even remotely resembling a vacation/holiday was in 2014, now I'm taking my time.

Also, thank you so much for your kind words! Honestly, burnouts are just part of the routine at this point, I'll be back on my feet in two-three months tops!
