How to fund a Nigerian career break
The rule of thumb is: months of runway = savings / monthly burn. But that's not enough - you also need a buffer for the transition back into work (typically 2-3 months, since offers rarely come the day you decide to look). Build the buffer into your target.
Sabbaticals are more valuable early in a career (skill pivots) or late (senior burnout recovery). Middle-career sabbaticals often cost more than they return unless there's a clear plan for what you're building or learning during the break.
