How have you healed from burnout?
Ok, maybe you haven't. I've worked in CS for several years in project management SaaS. Started out as a technical support and onboarding person.
Coming from that trajectory, I really enjoyed it for a long while. Made it easy to build relationships with accounts because you know the technical aspects and are seen as a SME. However, I also leaned toward that rather than the business and executive relationship management. I've always been weary of the quota bearing, but have done it.
In the last few years, I've also seen the explosion of PE management managing companies as assets instead of with vision. Honestly, I'm more on edge and increasingly disillusioned with corporate culture. Thinking of a career change at 35, but not sure what I would do. The pay for CSM has been fantastic, but part of me wants more meaning.
Anyone here dealt with these feelings? How have you healed from burnout?
