| Aug 6, 2017 at 12:56 | comment | added | user | Taking a leave of absence seems to be the best option. You lose nothing, and in a year you should know whether you like your new job or not. If they like you enough where you are, they should be inclined to allow for a leave of absence, in fear that otherwise you might leave forever. How you describe the opportunity (one year unique opportunity, improved experience, etc.) will also play a role. | |
