The IT burnout crisis
It has never been easier to work in IT as it is now. With all the tools, services, and even generative AI available to help you learn, build, and reach peak performance faster and easier.
Yet, there has never been such an overwhelming prevalence of job-related stress, overwhelm, unhappiness, and burnout in the IT industry.
From tight deadlines, the constant need to learn new technologies, to incompetent management, imposter syndrome and work that feels empty, the current state of IT is the perfect place to get burned out.
And the worst part of it – the job is never done. Once you are done with your work, you are expected to jump to the next urgent task. Then the next, and then the next. Creating a vicious cycle of urgency.
While the industry itself is unlikely to change any time soon – you can take control of your life right now.

What do I know about burnout?
I had burned out five times in six years in my professional career.
Every time I did, I quit my job resetting my career progression.
I had created a great reputation where I worked and I had to start over again each time.
To this day, not being able to stop burnout is one of my biggest regrets in life.
Your path to balance and a meaningful life
Burnout happens when you are in a state of chronic stress for an extended period of time.
When you look at it like that, then what you really need to do is not fight the burnout, but rather:
- Remove the stressors from your life
- Increase your resilience to stress
- Do more of what makes you happy
- Learn to de-stress proactively
It sounds simple on paper, however, no stress is the same and no person is the same. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Therefore, I take an individualized approach with every client to find the best way to move forward:
- Assessing your current situation
- Setting a direction (or a goal) to move towards
- Taking simple, small steps towards it every day
- Re-adjusting the direction as necessary
With this approach you will immediately see benefits, while also move towards your true life goals once you are in a better state.
Imagine a healthier, happier you
Going from stressed out and overwhelmed to relaxed and inspired.
This could be you.
No more dreading Mondays.
No more
No more restless nights.
No more work hijacking your personal life.
No more feeling unfulfilled.
No more settling for less than you are worth.
Work feels easy, relationships are fulfilling, life has meaning again.
And it all happened because you chose to do something different, you chose to put yourself first.
Will you choose something different?
Oh great, here comes the pitch to hire you Simas, huh?
Nope.

Frequently asked questions
I offer 1-1 coaching services.
My coaching is personalized to fit your specific needs as best as possible.
However, throughout my coaching career, I noticed that the best approach is nearly universal and looks like this:
- Weekly 1 hour sessions
- Minimum of 3 months of coaching commitment
- Focusing on creating a better future while learning from the past, but not dwelling on it
- Setting an intention for the whole coaching engagement and each individual session
While my coaching brings a lot of insights to my clients, those that made small but consistent effort got the best results. So expect to act on the insights that you get during our sessions.
My style of coaching is Mindful Coaching where I help you become self-aware so you can continue growing independently.
Asking questions and eliciting insights, while giving you enough space to reflect on what’s important to you is my preferred way of coaching. However, I will call you out if I see what you are doing is not serving you.
My coaching is best suited for high performing IT professionals who lost the joy of their profession due to overwhelm, burnout, etc. and want to live a balanced, meaningful life.
If you do not fit this criteria then I still invite you to have a chat as long as this problems and ideas resonate with you.
You should not use my services if you:
- do not want to take ownership of your life
- do not want to commit to changing
- are not comfortable exploring your limiting beliefs
- have a strong belief that coaching is not for you
- have psychological difficulties such as depression, personality disorders, traumas, etc.
You definitely can get the same results with other ways to improve yourself.
The only question is how long will it take?
Humans usually prioritize work based on its urgency. Which means the most important work for you is put off because it is not urgent.
Coaching raises your deepest, most important desires to the top of your priority so you can move towards it consistently.
If you are disciplined enough to put in consistent effort towards your non-urgent but important goals – then you might not need coaching.
If you are one of those rare cases – I would love to know how you did it. Feel free to send me an email about it at simas@simascoaching.com.
