This newsletter issue is slightly different from the others and addresses one of the biggest problems: Burnout. In tech, burnout can be so severe that it not only takes a toll on your mental health but also affects your physical health. This week, a shocking incident occurred where a young professional in India died due to work pressure.
If at any time you feel it is too much for you, take a break. Seek professional help. Do not delay. Know that you are not alone.
