Take a break or not ?

I have 10 years of experience as a frontend developer. I am willing to take a break for 6 months so that I can relax for some time and upskill and recharge for next 10 years journey. But I am not confident enough to take this move. Is this doable? Will this become a problem while looking for a job later ?

Hey all, So need an advice is it okay to take a break for switch. I know the ideal way is to leave current place only when you have an offer at hand. But i dont have much skills at the moment so would like to prepare and give some time to myself. I'll soon complete 2 years at my current work place. I'm also afraid cause of the current market conditions. Any comments would be helpful.

Has anyone here with Tech work experience (India) (not from MAANG or any reputed companies, or tier 1 colleges ) taken a career break for personal reasons ? Not talking essential leaves maternity break or something like that, but more like for well being/upskilling/travel etc, whatever it maybe. Could you share your experience ? What was your experience like getting back to work/interview experience ? I am considering taking one myself. I know this is normalised on Europe, but I feel in India, many people (esp. some recruiters) find this weird and most people are even scared about taking a break. Thoughts ?

3 YOE in FrontEnd well versed in Backend Technologies with 200+ leetcode solved, chose frontend but started hating css. Should I switch for the backend profile? How would It affect my pay? Currently @14LPA, need open suggestions on whether to do so or not?

Thinking of taking a break for approx 1/1.5 years from tech, and trying for UPSC / PSC. Wanted to understand how hard would it be to get back in corporate after the gap ? If someone has successfully tried and can share their experience, it would be really helpful.

I worked as a SWE for 2.5 years at an Indian MNC, I honestly didn't like the project as my daily work used to on a legacy technology, My manager never approved me (or anyone for that matter) to move to a different project with good tech stack and challenging workspace. So, resignation was my only choice without any backup offer, which I chose and later I unfortunately had to undergo a surgery, My doctor had advised me to take 3 months break from everything and stay home. It's been 6 monts since I left my job, currently I am revising the concepts of Java (Core & Advanced), SQL, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap along with Spring Boot. My problem is do recruiters consider my profile, even if I get an opportunity, do recruiters consider my salary negotiation, and does my career break affect the hiring process? Please guide me. Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone, currently I am in a service based company earning 9 lpa as a frontend developer(React) for 4 months. Before that I was in Tcs for 1.5 years. I am not happy in the current project. Changing project is not possible. I am thinking of resigning and taking 5-6 months to start freelancing as frontend/full-stack developer or start preparing for product based companies. What are your opinions?
