Overwork is one of the leading causes of burnout in the tech industry. Many tech professionals face long hours, tight deadlines, and immense pressure to perform, leading to exhaustion and mental fatigue.

How can we create a culture that values mental health as much as productivity? #Blackintech #blackincyber #blackgirlshack #infosec #techindustry #BurnoutAwareness #MentalHealthInTech
