I was a line manager, then a director of engineering and after the 2023 layoff, I did feel burnout. My wife and I decided to take a 2 year sabbatical together since we had the savings.
I have been contributing to open source, doing tutoring for computer science. It's been very good for my soul.

The end of 0% interest rates: what the new normal means for engineering managers and tech leads
We’re likely to see a preference for flatter organizations, fewer managers, and a preference for the “player coach” leadership model. Some changes present new opportunities to shine as leaders.
