I've been burned out a few times. Although, I've never thought about changing my career since I love software development.
What I've learned about myself over my 10 years in software development is that I'm a passion-driven developer. So, if I feel connected to my job / project, then I'm much more productive than if I don't. And if I don't feel connected, eventually I'll lose interest and burn out.

My solution for burnout has been to switch to another team or project. And if that doesn't work, then I switch jobs.
