Stories of burnout in tech professionals are not rare, particularly in security pros. Building on the earlier work of the stress and burnout project team which presented at BSidesLV 2011 and RSA USA 2012 and adding new voices, perspectives, and research this panel will explore what we have learned about warning signs, prevention, support, and recovery- and what remains to be done. This will be a highly personal and conversational discussion. While this topic needs public discussion, we are submitting to the Underground track to encourage candid discussions which might be stifled by public exposure.
