I work with senior developers and tech leads who feel drained at work to help them feel excited about their job again – without quitting
Imagine walking into the same office (or opening the same laptop) that’s been draining you – but now you feel calm, focused, and actually excited to make an impact. The deadlines, the team, the codebase haven’t magically changed. You have. Work feels meaningful again. You log off on time and go home with energy left for the people and things you care about.

Why So Many Good Developers Feel Burned Out
I’ve been in your shoes.
Long hours, shifting priorities, endless new tech to learn, and a backlog that never ends.
It’s exhausting – and it’s not because you’re weak or bad at your job.
The industry is built in a way that wears people down.
Deadlines keep coming, leadership changes, and even great developers start to feel stuck and isolated.
The bad news: the system isn’t changing anytime soon.
The good news: you don’t have to wait for it to change to feel better.
There are practical ways to make your current job feel manageable – even enjoyable – without quitting.

I’ve Burned Out Too – More Than Once
Over six years I burned out five times.
Each time I thought switching jobs would fix it.
Each time I rebuilt my reputation from scratch, only to end up exhausted again.
The pattern finally forced me to ask a different question:
What if the problem isn’t just the job – what if it’s how I’m working and living inside it?
Since then I’ve learned how to make the same role feel healthy and meaningful instead of draining.
Now I use that experience to help senior developers and tech leads do the same – without quitting and starting over.
A Practical Way Out of Burnout
Burnout isn't just being “stressed.”
It’s what happens when you stay in a high-stress state for too long without real relief.
Fighting burnout isn't about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all tips.
It’s about changing how you work and live in a way that actually fits you.
That’s why I use my 4R Framework with every client – not as a rigid program, but as a guide we adapt to your life:
- Remove the biggest stressors in your day
- Relax and proactively de-stress before you hit empty
- Reconnect with the parts of your job and life that make you feel alive
- Resilience — build habits and mindset shifts so the changes stick
We start by understanding your current situation, set a clear direction, and take simple steps you can feel immediately.
As you recover, we adjust and go deeper so you not only feel better now but also build a career you actually enjoy.
Picture This – Same Job, Different You
Right now your work might feel like a hamster wheel.
You dread Mondays.
Nights feel restless.
Work hijacks your personal life.
You wonder if this is all there is.
Now imagine this instead:
You wake up without that heavy feeling in your chest.
The same job feels lighter, even interesting.
You wrap up your day on time and shut the laptop without guilt.
Your evenings are yours again.
You're calmer with the people you care about.
Arguments don't spiral.
You finally have energy for things outside work.
This isn't a fantasy.
It’s what happens when you stop fighting burnout alone and start using proven ways to work and live differently.

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.
