Well said. External gratification won't solve anything.

Any advice to someone new in the industry to avoid burnout?

Work on interesting things or make the things you're working on interesting. Don't work only for yourself; take on the mind of a servant and you'll often be grateful. Don't look for total fulfillment from the things you can see, or the things that pass away. Store up treasures in a place that won't fade away.

It's just a job.

Always leave them wanting more.

(disclaimer: I've been in the industry for over 40 years... these days I avoid burnout by counting the dollars until I retire)

Choose based on what you want to do, not what other people want you to do.
