Curious what you tell people you do when they ask? Does everyone know what a sabbatical is?

I’ve been on a long sabbatical myself but I don’t feel like people would understand that so I usually just still say software engineer.

Btw feel free to email if you want to chat sometime. I haven’t especially productive so it would be great to get some inspiration.

I hear you. For social! The way I think about it tho is, if taking some dedicated time for working on myself, I want to get as far away from all work/tech stuff as possible! For a while anyway :)
