If you follow the advice of many of these people saying to take a year off, have fun findin. A job in a year when you have to explain that you left your last career for some "me time".
Would it be cool? Yes.
Would I ever hire you? Hell no.
This is all assuming you are doing large scale banking. You have never clarified that.

Agree with THF. Take a week away from work and starting interviewing for new jobs. A job that sucks will pull the life out of you and requires no explanation. When negotiating a start date for a new job, try to give yourself a few weeks in between.

I disagree and can't see why would someone involved in a hiring decision should care as long as he doesn't burn bridges with his old firm in taking time off between jobs.
Many a late night at the office have I contemplated doing central Europe, SE Asia, or Central/South America for 6 months to a year.

I don't want to derail this tread, but why does this line of thinking exist? My wife and I work our asses off and have saved up decent money. Why should we be penalized for taking a year off and traveling the world? The only thing that's stopping me is your example above. I seriously doubt a job would be easy to come by after a year off doing "nothing." I really don't understand why working towards this type of goal is frowned upon.

i did it and most people were totally ok with it, same with the wife.
but I work in tech and that is more accepted.
Maybe try for a leave of absence?

You wouldn't hire someone with 16 yrs experience who took a sabbatical to recharge? Seems rather short-sighted, bitter and extreme.
