Starting Over Doesn't Scare Techs. Being Wrong Again Does.

from Flat Rate Tech Podcast · host Tech, Flat Rate Life Media™

Starting over doesn’t scare techs. Being wrong again does. This episode is about the moment when leaving one shop and going to another starts to feel heavier than staying, and why that happens after you’ve been in this industry long enough. It’s about burnout that shows up quietly, experience turning into hesitation, and what “starting over” really means when you’ve already done it before. If you’re still showing up, still doing the work, and quietly questioning how long you can keep going, this episode puts words to that space.
