re: What’s your burnout limit at a company

Five year burnout is a real thing. Companies are beginning to offer sabbaticals and such at 5 years to combat this very issue.
Don’t let your employer create this false sense of loyalty to their grind. If a job either pays you significantly more, advanced your career, or improves your happiness then you should take it. If it does all 3 then I have no idea why anyone wouldn’t have accepted already

I left my job because of burnout about a month after Ida hit. Long story short, the new job made me realize that I really didn't have it that bad.
So after 7 months at the new hellhole I tlreturned to my old job with a hell of a raise and to my company's credit they also changed some things as well because of feedback on a few people's exit interviews. So I get it, but nowadays the last thing I want to do is jump into something new again. Just be careful

I just made 8 years at my current company. Two days ago I hit a wall and had a meltdown because they have me completely overloaded. BUT my immediate supervisor is great and she advocates for me, they provide me with the flexible schedule that I need, and I make good money. I'm not leaving them to go start over and work for someone else that will likely have some of the same issues as my current employer. I pretty much decided that when I do leave, it will be to work for myself and do my own thing.

If I average more than one day a week where I dread going into the office, then it’s time to move on. Life’s too short to stay in a miserable job situation. I’ve taken pay cuts to get out of those situations.

I've never been much of a job hopper. I'd leave if I needed to or felt that I was being way underpaid. In 23 years post college I've had 3 jobs
2yrs - 1st job, left due to shite pay
10yrs - business unit was sold and the new company sucked (loved the old company)
11yrs - current job

When I get bored, its time to move on. Jobs are plentiful, your days may not be.

I know sometimes these things are negotiable but it would be pretty difficult for me to go back to 10-15 vacation days at this point if I changed jobs. That would suck

Weak. I have been at mine for 28 years now. I burned out at the 10 year mark. I could have retired two years ago but still I hang on. Bills got to get paid.

If you work for someone else, it’s really hard to be truly happy.

What’s your typical time spent at a company (in a professional/career oriented setting)?
For me it was always the feeling of figuratively starving. If I couldn't stay there and take it for the money they were paying, I would leave. I juggled a military reserve career alongside, which I'm sure was a problem (I couldn't devote 100% to my day job), but it also gave me a cushion, a backbone and an entirely different set of skills.
But, as far as "real" day jobs after I completed my education, I was at 1 place 30 months, the 2nd for about 6 years, I did my own thing for a couple of years and ultimately landed where I'm at now about 15 years ago (and I will spend the next 12 to 15 years here).

<——Been at the same firm since Reagan was in the White House.
Draw your own conclusion on my burnout limit.
Sometimes one needs to move. Sometimes folks move when they should stay.
In my case, steady won the race.

I can take up to three months off a year (winter) if I choose. I was going to take Jan off but we're short, so I am not this year.
We're planning on a new seasonal facility, and I plan on taking over that bldg and working 5-6 months a year.

Retire early like I did! Nobody gives a flying frick about your work issues.

Working 110 hours a week at a big 4 was pretty effective in giving me burnout.

If I'm doing the same thing for 2 years, I tend to get burnt out. but you're right, it's not always greener on the other side.
I left big corporate in sept 2021 to a startup with some really cool folks. my day-to-day is draining, but working with cool people makes it a bit easier

Try and look for a corporate group where you can move around inside of the company to different divisions
if not, put your head down and just grind, 7-10 years there makes you a more attractive candidate
but, wtf do i know...job market is still hot and seems like everyone is bouncing around
