A big of the problem is the culture that measures everything in terms of money and perks.

It's well proven that a big source of burnout is misalignment between personal goals and your job. Humans crave meaning.

Being paid a ton of money to optimize some algorithm to manipulate people into buying something they don't need is the opposite of meaningful work.

I agree but how many people actually get alignment in their jobs?

I’ve been trying to figure out how some people can keep going without that alignment. Some say to just treat it as a job, but that doesn’t seem to be working for me. I guess I’m one of those people who must get an aligning job.
