I used to think “I’m just burnt out” was temporary. Now I’m realizing I might actually be in the wrong career altogether. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized you weren’t coming back?

I kinda always had the thought of burnout = not enjoying what you do. If you’re truly engaged and excited by something, that thing isn’t going to constantly make you feel exhausted. Sure bad days here and there but they shouldn’t come in troves of weeks or months.

My recommendation: find a new challenge and push yourself. If there’s a deliverable you despise, find someone and train them up on it and become a mentor. Same goes for other responsibilities, grow the people around you. Don’t just pawn off your work but do it in a way where it’s a learning opportunity for yourself and others.
