I've found some combination of agency, upside, and interesting problems to solve are the recipe for not burning out. Not working for a jerk manager / at a company with bad culture helps, but is not sufficient. I've burned out in a "nice culture" company faster than a "cutthroat culture" company because the nice guys didn't allow much agency.
