Burnout isn't always about doing too much. Sometimes it's doing the wrong work too well โ and most engineers can't tell the difference until they're years deep.
Zach sits down with Matt Sevey โ mechanical engineer turned self-taught software developer, engineering manager, and founder of My Code Career โ to unpack what it takes to realize you're in the wrong work and find the courage to change it. They get into the link nobody taught him between what he studied and a life he actually cared about, the 30+ "coffee chats" with total strangers that reframed his entire career, why we go to the people closest to us last, and the difference between managing your time and managing your energy. You'll learn:
Why being good at your job can be the exact thing keeping you stuck โ Matt was turning down promotions while pouring 20 hours a week into something else "just for fun" The one question that cuts through career confusion: "Am I doing the right type of engineering?" (and why it still applies even when you love what you do) How to run a cold "coffee chat" that builds your network without feeling like you're selling yourself
Why the people closest to you are the last ones you ask for help โ and what that fear is really costing you
