I'm not so sure. I've been burned out because I realise that I haven't received compensation that respects my skill-set, because I wasn't seeking fulfilment through the job itself and wanted the extra money to support my efforts in discovering what fulfils me. I've also felt burned out because I went for a total cash grab and, despite the money being amazing, the product I was working on didn't really sing to me. So it turned out that I actually was seeking some fulfilment through work, and there was a balance between the ideal mission and my ideal income. Money might be the easy thing to blame but I'm not convinced by it. Except that someone may think they've landed an easy job and $$$$ and had no realisation that many entry-level programming jobs will pretty much feel like being a worker on a production line. If you're not happy with being a code-monkey and expected some kind of autonomy then that burnout may come along pretty quickly. Pure speculation on my part though.
