Is it me, or do most software jobs cause burnout?

Been a dev for about 10 years. I’ve had no issues advancing in my career or leveling up my skillset and I’ve generally gotten great feedback from my boss and peers. But I’ve worked for several companies and every single one burned me out, i feel like I don’t have the capacity to grind the way my peers do. Things are usually good for a few months and then management asks for some huge delivery on a tight deadline and it completely burns me out. This has happened so many times in my career. Does anyone else struggle with this consistently?
