Commenters, please note that the author did not say "overtime" or "long hours".

My advice: start working on a side project which will give you satisfaction from every half hour of your work. Does not need to be an IT project. You'll think of something.

I'm not sure there is another good way to interpret that statement.

Reef is actually right. There's not much overtime. Now while that to many may seem like a great job where there should be no burn out. I can say that it is still very stressful. The reason being there can just be so many things going on at once. Projects that should take hours to days end up taking weeks to months due to just the sheer number of them and the constant barrage of interruptions. Context switches are expensive. Every time somebody else has nothing better to do they feel like they should bother you.
