I developed job burnout after 3 years in a toxic firm environment. I left that firm and started working as an independent contractor at a different firm doing tax compliance. I started noticing myself burning out by the end of the fall tax season last year. I was super anxious and lacked focus. I just took about 6 weeks off after the fall tax season ended, but I have a lot of anxiety about my burnout returning. Any advice on what I should be doing to ensure I don’t burn out again?
