I was having burnout, the team I was in was not as challenging. Simple features took me weeks to finish. It got so difficult for me to turn on the laptop in the morning. Internally I asked to be moved to another team, but it did not improve.

What did I do?? I did not take vacations or time out. I just changed companies, and made sure the job has variety, and a lot of customers, and asked for a good raise. All the symptoms disappeared after 1 day. Like magic.

I feel I am more respected and more critical in their team. If there are no customers, and they pay you a little, you feel worthless, and treated as a second class dev. Start looking outside, you may find a good opportunity
