I thought OP was specifically calling out tech as prone to dementia. Maybe I misunderstood. Every “standard” career track that follows “standard” retirement age

I thought OP was specifically calling out tech as prone to dementia. Maybe I misunderstood. Every “standard” career track that follows “standard” retirement age should be similar.

Makes sense! Now, our jobs (IT engineers) is often cited to have higher rate of depression and mental disorders [0], and we sure have our fair share of toxic working culture at large scale [1] and smaller scale (startups). A lot of advice is exchanged openly about desk setup, posture and avoiding carpal tunnel. Which is fine. But my best advice to newcomers would be to look hard for non shitty companies that won't let them burn out in 3 years.
