Getting a new job at a big, slow moving company can be a good way to recover while not becoming destitute

For me, the big slow moving org CAUSED the burnout

Burnout isn’t always about overwork. There are several different typologies and mine was more related to a lack of control/pointlessness that led to a very extreme form of ennui. The end result was the same with depression, anhedonia, and cynicism.

I feel this way too to the extent that I am willing to take up a non technical role as well. Just want to be like a no name machine at my desk, alone. do my time, leave on time and then be free to live my life as I please... but I don't think large places are devoid of their own BS. They have lots of fluffy rituals that wastes a lot of my personal time and energy.
