       Is it me, or do most software jobs cause burnout?
        
       Been a dev for about 10 years. I've had no issues advancing in my
       career or leveling up my skillset and I've generally gotten great
       feedback from my boss and peers.  But I've worked for several
       companies and every single one burned me out, i feel like I don't
       have the capacity to grind the way my peers do. Things are usually
       good for a few months and then management asks for some huge
       delivery on a tight deadline and it completely burns me out. This
       has happened so many times in my career. Does anyone else struggle
       with this consistently?
