Techie describes burnout from 16-hour workdays

A techie earning over ₹3 lakh per month reported feeling 'stuck' due to 15-16 hour workdays and a lack of work-life balance.

The techie has worked at the same medium-sized startup since graduating and feels exhausted from repetitive work with no learning opportunities.

He wants to switch jobs but cannot prepare for interviews because of his long work hours and a scarce hiring market.

The techie asked Reddit users for advice on how to escape the burnout cycle while still employed.

Reddit users suggested exploring hobbies, starting a side business, or prioritizing health as potential solutions.
