I took a break when I achieved my FIRE goals. I did all the usual stuff -- worked on personal projects, cleaned up the house, and played an insane amount of tennis and video games. After 6 months, I was so bored out of my mind that I started interviewing again. I discovered that I didn't hate the work, just idiot colleagues. Working as a software engineer in the Silicon Valley is a very cushy lifestyle, and I'm blessed to be able to do this type of work.
