In my case, I did the math on my savings and I’m taking 1-3 years working on side projects, by myself and with groups of collaborators

Wow, good on you. I wish you all the best. I wish I had such financial safety net to change jobs

I have that kind of cushion and I am considering taking a few months off working on side projects. But 1-3 years? I would need a very, very, very solid project to consider doing that!
