every job I’ve worked, I start to burn out pretty badly right around the 2.5-3 year mark. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s both exhausting and frustrating. I crave stability, and hate playing the job market, so it stresses me out a lot when this starts hitting. But for some reason, right at this time, I start feeling unappreciated and inevitably I feel like I need to look elsewhere, because my needs just aren’t being met.
Looking for advice. Is anyone else dealing with a similar issue?

It’s around 1 year to 1 and a half for me. I always thought that was enough time in for all the “new” to wear off and start seeing how things really operate. Do you see anything earlier on that could be a sign of that?

No. i didn’t.

This is me, and I've never found an answer. I tend to switch careers too, not just companies. This job market is changing things though, and I'm staying where I am no matter how miserable I may be. I have to keep reminding myself that right now, the alternative to burnout is worse.

The job market scares me.

I am not. I’m only 3 months into my current job but I’m worried I’ll feel really burnt out around that mark

I hope not for you.
