When you start waking up everyday dreading the workday. It's usually one of the first signs of burnout for me. The dread just creeps into other parts of my life and affects my work/life balance. I usually pack up at that time and go somewhere else to challenge myself again.

When I start to get snippy with people. I know that's my sign to start making my exit. I'm not normally short tempered, but every time I get tired of a job, I notice that everything starts to annoy me.

When I catch myself saying, "Damn, I don't want to go to the office" several times a week. I've never been afraid of hard work, even exhausting work, as long as it was fulfilling and free of workplace drama. When the job or the people in that job rob you of that innate desire to succeed and be useful, then it's time to look elsewhere -- even if it's flipping burgers.

I am a peaceful person. But I have always stayed in a functional/business role rather than doing a technical job at the back end which to me is bringing a lot of noise in my life. I am in a job where I have to wake up and start fighting on calls for straight 3-4 hours in the morning. I dread to come out of bed now. Is it my call for exit? Should I look for a backend role?
