It seems to me that many jobs that involve more immediate concerns have high rates of burnouts. I would guess that’s the case for, e.g. nurses (though I haven’t found statistics comparing different occupations). Thus I’m not sure that jobs whose impact is more distant and uncertain generally have higher rates of burnout. That means that if the EA and X-risk community have higher rates of burnout, that may not be due to that factor, or at least not to that alone.
Ruby can ask his former ICU nurse wife about that. My impression from having Miranda as a coworker is that yes, ICU nurses did have high rates of burnout.
