I’m considering quitting engineering altogether due to chronic burnout. I suspect I’m not the only one. I would love a part time position that gives me recovery time, and I would happily take the reduced pay that comes with it.
- jrib 5y agoDo you know what you'll be doing instead?
- deepsquirrelnet 5y agoQuite honestly, if I had figured it out, I would probably already be doing it. Technician type work has a certain appeal to me, but it’s intimidating to be two feet into a career, supporting dependents and trying to decide with certainty what is a better option. I wish I had more insights to offer, because I personally know quite a few people struggling with burnout as well. Their solutions and mine so far have been just to switch jobs and hope to find a more favorable environment.
