Not taken leaves in 5 years
Also not been sick whatsoever, even during covid. I don't know why.
My job requires travel so I do get to spend time abroad.
The last cycle, I ended up making an extra 20L from all the leave encashment paying out at once. That's now worth 24L from a small cap MF.
Why does anyone bother with leaves if you are planning to retire before 40? I want to quit working while I'm still healthy.


Toh sir, apko leave nahi lene pe 20L mil raha toh apko lagta hai ki sabko mil raha hoga?
How is not taking leaves and early retirement making sense?

The hustlers are here from LinkedIn.


Don't hustle shame me

You are kind of answering it yourself. Constant work travel doesn't cause that much mental degradation that a desk job does and keeps your mind almost as clear as a vacation (which is more exemplified for international travel). The last 2 reasons are major reasons why someone takes leaves.
Secondly, it depends on the company culture. In many companies you simply cannot carry forward all of the annual personal leaves nor you can encash them. So the better option is to simply take leaves before renewal

Not all companies offer encashment above 30 leaves. Instead they encourage their employees to take leaves and they have a bar on number of leaves to be carried forward to next year which is 30 again. So, any leave not taken, is wasted.

This post is meant to be on LinkedIn but OP was too high and posted on GV.

And here I'm taking 2 single leaves a month at the bare minimum, and 5day continuous leave twice a year , ever since I've started working 🥳

Damn you made bank. If you don't want to or need to take leaves, you've won.

I wish my company gave leave encashment 😭
