  I started feeling burned out and asked for part time, just 3 days a week. Company refused - we don't do part time. Instead they tried to convince me to stay, give me perks, a raise, etc, because they really liked me. I told them I probably can find someone willing to hire a dev in this huge city. By the end of the day I had a part time offer and a raise. The market is in our favour at least for now. Interestingly, after 6 months I dialed back to 4 days a week. I felt too disconnected with the projects and the people, and procrastinated too much in the 4-day weekend. I found 4 days to be my personal sweet point.
