Early to mid career and have been working mostly in consultancy mostly and am absolutely burned out, working very long hours staring at a screen constantly. There are not enough hours in the day.

I started out with GI contractor sampling and logging etc. The occasional bad weather and isolation weren't great but I don't remember feeling this mentally destroyed all the time. I only did it for a year or so before moving into more of a design role and have worked at a few big consultancies since you probably know the ones. Not sure if I just have rose tinted spectacles. I just know I can't continue like I am now.
