Exit interview: James Berlyn, WAYTCo

In a sector where passion is a major driver for so many, it’s easy to become overworked and burnt out. Managing stress, and recognising when a role is starting to take too much of a toll, is important to monitor.

‘It’s been a journey of six days a week on three-and-a-half days’ pay for six years – and that was absolutely my choice. But it was starting to cost a bit more, and I felt like I had achieved everything that I thought was possible – and even many things that I thought were improbable to impossible. And to stay beyond that, when it was exacting a rather hefty toll, felt a little counterproductive,’ he says.
