I've been working as an optical scientist in private sector for about 4 years.
It was fun at the start, but now all I have is constant burnout. Every weekend I try and rest and play video games to cope, but then on Monday it's just another week if grind and I genuinely do not enjoy it anymore. I m trying to apply to more research oriented positions at some nearby labs, but I'm terrified I'll just start burning out again and not get any enjoyment out of the field :(
