I Just Started. How Can I Be Burnt Out Already?

Everyone is prone to burnout. Working in a high-stress environment like the engineering industry can accelerate the pace of burnout for anyone. Let’s add being a female engineer into the mix. The 2018 Harvard Business Review shows that areas like stress from gendered tasks, when topped with high work demands and persistent workplace bias, can push women to leave engineering. What if you are a young and talented female engineer? Studies show that there seem to be many more ways in which you can be stressed, and burnout seems almost within arm’s reach. Hear from a young leader on how to identify and acknowledge burnout, how one can transform the symptoms of burnout into positive motivations for a successful career, along with ways to develop sustainable methods to ensure that burnout doesn’t creep up silently again. Afterall, a young leader’s career has just begun.
