Not necessarily, I think interviewers and tech teams can 'smell' enthusiasm + interest + motivation very well which (A) after burnout is around zero regardless of skills, (B) in a fast-changing field "in boom now" aka. full of fluff and trends and wheel-reinventions is much more crucially important in the first place --- just rarely ever spelled out or recognized like that
- brailsafe 9y agoI didn't see the parent comment here but it sounds writ with condescension and lacking in substance. Your sentiment is definitely true. Burnout is hard and has an unfortunate spider-web effect throughout one's ability to find further work. After it subsides, I found myself looking at the field in a different light, but more importantly found it incredibly hard to do the side-projects and creative work I once found so easy.
