Ep 293: What happens to my NHS Pension if I take a career break...?
In this episode of Medics' Money, host Cyra talks with Kai, a urology registrar who recently took a year-long career break to travel the world with his wife and dog. The discussion covers the logistics and experiences of taking a career break, including the financial aspects, such as renting out their home and maintaining car ownership, and insights into the NHS pension system. Kai shares his profound personal learnings about managing work-life balance, especially the difficulty in fully detaching from his professional responsibilities. The episode also touches on the practicalities of using a motorhome for travel, encountering different dog-friendly countries, and the planning necessities for someone in a high-stakes profession. Kai reflects on how the year off has impacted him both personally and professionally, and offers advice for others considering a similar break.
