The Career Success Edition #12: Mental Wellbeing - How to Fight Burnout and Be Mindful
The world is going fast, especially in the tech industry. It seamlessly leads to burnout and aggravates mental health issues for designers, developers, product managers, and anyone who works in the industry. Burnout doesn’t look at your level of experience, your role in the organization or what title you hold. Good mental well-being has a tremendous effect on your state of mind and growth as a professional, not to mention it helps make good decisions and deal with life's challenges at home, work, or school. In this event, let’s look at strategies to fight burnout and be mindful!
