This is a classic "Appeal to worse problems" logical fallacy. Because other situations could be worse then your problem is irrelevant. It goes all the way back to your parents telling you that your problems are irrelevant because there are starving children in Africa.

Here's a wiki on it. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Not_as_bad_as

It's one of the purest most common logical fallacies used.

It would be if I was actual using the “appeal to worse” fallacy. I didn’t say that the OP’s problems were irrelevant, only pointed out that the software industry is doing something right (high pay for one) if it allows people to quit because they feel burnt out.
