Sabbatical Leave.

Pls prioritise health. After a couple of months, while still being on sabbatical, you may also start looking for other opportunities. Just in case your current company doesn’t have a vacancy for you.

Just a personal thought. It does not show up on CV or experience letter usually. So unless the company goes out of their way to communicate with your next company. Or it comes out in ref check. I have seen people taking sabbatical but then they were staying in company for long time. So a sabbatical taken 3 years ago is less relevant than sabbatical taken 3 months back when searching for next job. Final thought, if the next company takes negative view for taking sabbatical for geniune reason, do you really want to join such company?

Words like sabbatical are not in the recruiters vocabulary in our country.

Ps - My job won't be confirmed post sabbatical, depends on vacancies

It doesnt show up in the leaving certificate and it should never hurt your chances for a future job role. In case any company rejects you on this basis, consider it as a bullet dodged. As a hiring manager/recruiter, I wouldnt care if a candidate has taken a sabbatical for health, family or to climb mountains. If you decide to continue in the same company, it does. Else, it doesnt. Also depends on the company what they would want to consider as your last working day.

Prioritize health first. It won’t hinder much on your cv as people usually focus on years in the company otherwise
