No commentsAsk HN: Burning Out
13 by burning_out_101 | 5 comments on shero.
Burning out as an early stage start-up employee. I’ve been employed there a few years, worked miracles, but getting recently getting some poor feedback. Confusing situation. Wondering if I should just quit? Is career salvageable? I solved the business’ biggest issue. Start-up was founded to do X, founders couldn’t figure out how to do X, I was asked to do X. Under enormous pressure I single handily figured out how to do X, conducted all the R&D, built the prototype, supervised the engineer and release. Its still a prototype, but solves one of the industries biggest problem. Non-founder team lead is unhappy some minor issues have slipping in the chaotic process of getting this to market. I’m doing several different jobs and do everything. My solution is going to change the market, the idea is worth millions of dollars, likely more. Founders are very please, but getting poor feedback from team lead. Team lead has hindered more than helped, gives conflicting advice, blows hot and cold, has created a toxic environment etc. Admittedly some minor things have slipped through the cracks, but much of this comes from my team lead playing politics, creating silos and conflicts etc. My team lead is grinding me down with their constant nitpicking and I really just want to go and do something else, anything else, work in a bar or something. Considered going to the founders with the issue, but I can’t see how this can be resolved beyond creating a new role or transferring out of my area of expertise. I did a sanity check and have reached out to others. Lots of others have take issue with my team lead as well, so its not just me. I’m pretty burnout, and definitely in need to some time out before moving on. I don’t think I’d come across very well (or as sharp as I usually) in interviews at the moment without a break. Anyone been through anything similar? Anyone have any advice?

I think this gets asked most years, and I always enjoy the threads that come out of it. I am thankful for a family that I enjoy spending the holidays with. I am thankful that I had a safe childhood and got a good education throughout my life. I am also thankful for the HN community. People dump on this site sometimes, but over most of the past decade HN has been an overwhelmingly positive part of my life. Thank you to everyone for what you bring to the community here.

I'm an educator with a CS / programming background. There's a possibility that I'll be moving into the 'Information and Communications Technology' role next year at my medium sized high school (grades 9-12, ~700 students, diverse student population). My jurisdiction's curriculum in this area is not well developed, and there are no standardized tests to prepare for. I'll have an amount of freedom in deciding course content that's unusual for high school teachers. What would HN have the modern western high school student learn with respect to "Information and Communications Technology"?

I've spent the last decade in two FANG companies, and I've got to a high level where my total compensation is ridiculous. The problem is that it bores me to tears, and I don't want to do it anymore. At first thought, maybe I am burned out? However, I can still come home and write code for a side-project, so I don't think this is "burn-out". I don't know to be honest. I think the best description is that I am cynical of the "mission", and I can't connect my work to people I care about. How do I know what the source of the problem is? However, I wanted to pose two questions. First, what is the environment like for exiting high-level former-FANG employees? Second, what are some of the surprises post-FANG that I would be in for if I wanted to start a company? Thank you for your time.

I'm a frontend engineer and I really enjoy it, but I do feel like there isn't much more for me to learn or room to grow. I've been thinking about trying to start learning ML, but I'm not sure I'd like it. Seems like it would be very different from what I'm currently doing. My interest in it at the moment is money related, but I'm confident that could change once I really get in it. I'm also confident that my company would give me the opportunity move into a relevant role, so long as I knew what I was doing. What I'm most interested in knowing is what the day to day work is like, and how different is it from every other software engineering job?
