Is talking about burnout in a previous role in an interview something that you consider a red flag when hiring for clinical or hospital roles? Or does it signal honesty? I've been honest about my experience because I don't want it again, and I'm curious if that's the reason I'm not hearing back.

If someone says, “I burned out, here’s what contributed to it, here’s what I’ve changed, and here’s what I’m actively looking for now so I can be sustainable,” that usually reads as self‑aware and honest. Where it can start to worry people is if the focus stays on how awful the last place was, how overwhelmed you still feel, or if there’s no clear plan for what will be different this time.

I agree, I think its totally acceptable if given enough context.

Saying burnout directly might be not a good idea you can put this in some other words and represent in positive manner that yiu do want change

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?
