I have been working in the tech industry for well over a year now, firstly as an intern and now as a full-time employee. Tech burn-out is nothing new. I myself have faced it a few times and trust me it is the worst thing you can go through.

Before the pandemic, it was possible for a person having spent the majority of his time working in technology to take sabbatical leaves to recharge and energize. But these days, Tech burn-out is a lot more common and a lot more severe.

What is Burnout?

It refers to a combination of increased anxiety, stress, physical, emotional, or mental health-related problems because of high work pressure or inability to cope with increased expectations.

First of all, Tech burnout is completely normal and every person in technology has faced it during some phase of their career.

Having burned out doesn’t mean you are weak or incapable, it just means that the work and deadlines need to be readjusted to match your normal working speed and hours.
