Hi Maryam,

I’d like to say the way I’ve dealt with burnout is trying different job roles - in my previous roles I’ve tested Splunk apps and security development testing for a large US fortune 500 insurance company. I now work in systems testing for a telecommunications software company who deal with large telcos everyday. The challenges are never the same which is why I love testing.
