I've been around for a while and there are plenty of IT Jobs that'll burn you out but there are also super chill positions. My last job change was a downgrade money wise and my boss who I was supposed to replace soon made fun of me for that decision but he missed his daughter growing up because he was working 24/7. She's an alcoholic now and doesn't want anything to do with him but "if you want to succeed you have to make sacrifices" he always said. The guy next door to my office literally died in his sleep after being completely stressed out for a year. Heart just stopped. Mid fifties. I quit shortly after. I now only take jobs that are chill as fuck because I've learned from their mistakes.
Resume rot and working and to you drop are very different ideas. It's not worth taking a chill job if it means that you're unhireable for your next job. There are plenty of chill jobs that grow your resume.
