I got burnt out 3-4 years ago and am only now feeling like I’m coming back to normal. Maybe if I took a more intentional path to recovery I’d be back earlier, but it’s not like the kind of thing where you can take a couple weeks PTO and expect it to clear up

There are several different typologies and mine was more related to a lack of control/pointlessness that led to a very extreme form of ennui.

Just want to be like a no name machine at my desk, alone. do my time, leave on time and then be free to live my life as I please... but I don't think large places are devoid of their own BS. They have lots of fluffy rituals that wastes a lot of my personal time and energy.
