So I guess I should be completely honest and hopefully this will provide a life lesson for someone. While it’s true I’ve never experienced burnout because of work, I did experience burn out because of my personal life. I wasn’t willing to walk away from a toxic marriage soon enough and in hindsight, the signs were clear. The marriage was short - only four years. But the mental and financial repercussions lasted a lot longer. I stayed at my second job 6 years too long (for a total of nine) because my personal life wrecked my self confidence. I left that job in 2008 (and got remarried in 2012). But I didn’t fully rebuild my career to be competitive as you’d standard “senior” [sic] enterprise dev until 2014 at 40 year old and didn’t get into any company of note until 46.
