Here are the signs that I had during my burnout: - Hoping to get sick to get a few days without having to cope with work

- Trouble sleeping

- Not being able to enjoy my holiday / weekend due to the thought of having to go back to work with an increased backlog

- Enhanced imposter syndrome

- Work productivity drop

- Complete lack of purpose in the daily work

All of the above built up very slowly and I didn't realize until things got overwhelming. The good news for me was that all of the above disappeared almost instantly when I switched jobs.
