Career break

Been in the workforce for more than a decade. After being an individual contributor for the majority of my career, this year is my first time to accept a managerial role. The pay is not that high but I accepted it because of the long term benefits like leadership skills and wide opportunities for training etc. But it's also stressful hahaha now i'm seriously thinking of going on a break to rethink my long term career (and life) plans

For those who took a career break, how did you handle:

1. Job anxiety - how long were you able to find a new job? with how tough the job market right, this is my biggest fear.
2. Finances - how was your savings and safety net?
3. Skills - while on break, did you get skills training and microdentials?
