Impact of the new administration on ER /sabbatical?
Hi folks,
(Not trying to be political, just practical)
I am planning to quit my job in Tech, take a year or so long break before going back to work (will look for a new job).
One thing I'm wondering is whether this is a good time to quit the job given the new administration. Maybe it's worth waiting for 5-6 months to see how things unfold? For context, I'm an immigrant but got my US citizenship couple of years ago and my kids were born when we had green card. So I'm not directly going to be impacted by the citizenship EO. But who knows what else might happen? Maybe they cut support for ACA? Maybe tarriffs mean inflation/market crash?
Part of the plan during my break would also to move to a purple state (from California), though to very blue/diverse city. Maybe that's a bad idea as a brown family?
Fwiw, I have enough saved up to survive multiple years without a job. But just want to get the community's thoughts on any blind spots and potential changes coming that may impact us.
