I’m currently at an A0 level and will complete a year in May. I’m thinking about taking a sabbatical to travel the world for a year. I have savings of around 2 lakhs. How wise would it be to leave my job after completing one year and pursue this travel plan? Also, would I be able to re-enter the workforce after taking such a break?
2 lakhs you can only travel all over the country that too by the cheapest trains you can find.
Can't really travel the world with 2 lakhs.
And no, it wouldn't be easy to get back in.
1 year of experience + 1 year of traveling doesn't make a good CV for a person two years out of college.
What are your priorities in life?
Would your savings be enough to travel for a year? [I would suggest doing some research before jumping in]
Do you have any financial responsibilities?
Are you confident enough to take a break after one year (for one whole year) thinking you would be of value to a firm and they would want you back with enthusiasm?
Nothing wrong with travelling for a year, or even doing it at your designation. Don't listen to anyone who says NO. If you can answer the above questions satisfactorily, are confident about your decision, do you.
You guys are absolutely disgusting. No sense of responsibility.
I hope you go with what you heart calls for. Good luck!
