I've worked as both a manual laborer on a construction site and a software engineer at big tech corp. The burnout I get as an engineer is way better than what I felt as a laborer, I don't think most people who have done both would consider them similar.

How would you actually describe the burnout you get as an engineer? How long does it take? Have you recovered? How?

I suspect that there are many definitions of the term "burnout" being used by different people, making communication difficult.
