Really interesting. I have had thoughts in the past about leaving my reasonably well-comped job for something like this which ticks many of my boxes, but what held me back was similar to some of the problems you shared, ie lack of appreciation, as well as the fear of being treated badly after being used to feeling like an important and influential person at the old job. And of course the financial stuff. Hope you write about this again soon!
Interesting question. On the first thought, my answer would be: no, I'd do it even later rather than sooner. But this deserves a bit more thinking so I'll respond here soon with anything more elaborate ya Mas 😁

Hi Kak Tre, looking back, would you have taken your sabbatical earlier?

Thanks! Looking forward to the response. Sabbatical option is always on my mind even though I’m just reaching 5+ YoE
