I took 3 months off after shutting down my startup back in 2019 without knowing what was next. Went travelling, spent some time in London reading books and chilling out and enjoyed sitting at coffee shops at 8am watching other people go to work.

If you can afford it and have some confidence that you can easily get a job afterwards, I'd highly recommend it.

For me, it really helped not at all thinking about what was next until 2.5 months in. If you start interviewing already after a few weeks you don't get proper headspace to really relax and get out of the work mindset.
