I think experience plays a role. From my own experience; what I considered high demand 10 years ago is now low demand. Such as resolving a production incident at 10am.
In my past I would switch jobs every couple years. Not due to the stress, but because I was alarmed at how the intensity of work was decreasing at a company. I equated that with slow professional growth.
Now I'm finding several opportunities for growth, but doing so with a calm mindset. Several of my colleagues don't seem calm at all. Yet the majority of us have more control over burnout and "work chaos" than we are lead to believe.
