| > Should I tell my boss and/or team? Should I tell them right away, or wait until I know what other steps I want to take? What should I expect their reactions to be? No there're not your family. You need to talk with a professional and take decision together. > Should I take time off? How much? Or should I try to work reduced hours? It's impossible to say. Everyone is different. Some need to work part time, others a month off and others 2y. When I did my burn out at first it's 4 months, after 6 and at the end it's a year. Again decision with a professional. Evaluation every month at first. Depend also your country/insurance. For me it's easy because I live in EU, so my salary was paid at 80% while i was taking care of myself for a 1y. > If I continue working, is there something in my working environment I should try to change? Think of senior engineer in a typical DevOps-y SaaS startup. Again need a professional and long conversations. May be it's the environement or the job itself. > Is there anything specific to working in tech and burning out that I should know about? I feel like this isn't exactly rare. Because it's always the same. Managers think when we add or remove features, it's just lego. You re-assign 1 ticket 3 others come. |
