Burnout can creep up unnoticed, but its effects on your career can be profound and long-lasting. It's a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.

Recognizing the signs early and taking proactive steps to address them is crucial in mitigating burnout's long-term effects.
