I am thinking of a sabbatical next year. I will quit, take some time off to recharge before I start interview prep and to look for the next play. How much time off do you think is safe. Here are some parameters, I have spent ~14 years in FANG, currently E6@Facebook working on ML. I will target L6/L7 positions with high 500k+ TC.
My main worries are,
1. An economic/tech downturn
2. Not having a job making it hard to negotiate.
Current TC: ~700K

*On a sabbatical right now, though nowhere near your amount of experience and live on <$40k/yr with no major financial commitments
Regarding point 2, there’s no need to worry. You’ll have plenty of time to prepare, get multiple offers and be in a great position to negotiate.
I have taken time off (6 months) twice in my career and came back stronger.
