Been trying to find the right words to talk about this.
I left my #infosec job recently. Good pay, great coworkers, but the fit was gone, and I wanted to leave on my own terms.
I don't know what comes next.
What I do know is that I'm sleeping better, and I'm more relaxed. Aside from additional adulting tasks like worrying about family health insurance (USA), I get to decide how my time is spent.
If burnout has you, know that rest is not giving up. You are a human being, not a human doing.
