Before You Quit Your Job, Ask This

Thinking about quitting your job because of career burnout? Before you make a permanent decision, consider these factors first. Many professionals reach a point where the pressure feels insurmountable, and leaving a career seems like the only logical escape. With over 20 years in medicine and public health, I have faced workplace exhaustion multiple times.
