I couldn't help being struck by "I needed to take a break and get over my burnout." Must be nice... I've been continuously employed since 1992 because I've had no choice but to be continuously employed since 1992. Burned out or not, the bills don't stop coming: if you're in a position to "take some time and focus on yourself" in between jobs, you're in a very fortunate place.

Are you in a software engineering job in the US? If yes, how is it possible that you couldn’t save enough in 30 years to take a break.

Feel free to ignore if the answer is no.
