I'm going through something similar - work at a FAANG company, have 250k+ in savings, contemplating quitting for a few months because things at work seem soul-sucking.
I went through the same trade-offs you mentioned. In the end I've decided to just take the plunge. When I'm 50, I don't wanna look back and think it'd have been extremely easy to take a few months off and see what that turned into.
PS: I'd love to get in touch and share our common insecurities if you're up for it. I live in the Bay Area and am reachable @ [email protected]
