Abstract

Burnout syndrome, a psychological condition often caused by chronic workplace stress, has become an increasingly prevalent issue in various professions. While burnout is typically associated with high-stress environments such as healthcare, education, and corporate settings, recent research indicates that the early stages of a career-particularly within the first few years—may present heightened vulnerability to burnout. This article explores the peaks of burnout syndrome in the early years of a professional career, investigating the factors that contribute to this phenomenon, the impact on individuals, and the broader implications for organizations. Drawing on studies from various sectors, the article highlights the risk factors, potential signs of burnout, and the importance of early intervention. The findings suggest that targeted support for individuals in the early stages of their careers is crucial for preventing long-term psychological and professional consequences.
