Retiring early LinkedIn

I deleted my LinkedIn -problem solved.

If you plan on going back to work just put sabbatical and have an explanation ready if they ask during an interview.

You can even use this time to explore interests that connect both personal and professional sides — like learning something new, mentoring, or diving into self-discovery fields such as personal color analysis, which helps you understand how colors reflect your individuality and confidence.

Many professionals who take a mid-career break use this kind of phase to rebrand themselves — so when you return to work, it looks like you’ve invested in personal insight and renewal, not just taken time off.

Conveniently "forget" to update it when you leave your current job - figure it later if/when you come back to Linked.in

. If you're back in the grind after a year, then you'll be on there anyhow ;) and you'll have a year's experience or more of what you actually did to boot.

Congratulations! That is wonderful!

Because of the kind of work I do, I would list myself as a writer and just leave it at that.

Because I'm self-employed, I didn't change my LinkedIn status at all.

I list some current pro bono clients under my "work" section (with their consent), more to promote the work of these organizations than anything else.

In my previous career, I did recruiting. I was never turned off when someone listed "Career Break", "Career Sabbatical", or "Professional Pause." In the description, you could also list professional goals and accomplishments you are focused on. I believe this will humanize you but still make it feel strategic and intentional when you begin to look for part-time work. I hope you have a great year off!

Great question ! I formed an LLC for a little tax business and just listed that.

I just wrote private consulting :)
