> One of the best things you can do if you are burnt out from a job (esp in tech) is to teach. To see that spark in someone else’s eyes can reignite the spark in yours.

Do you know this from experience or are you just guessing?

In practice, most school teachers I know are themselves perpetually on the verge of burning out from having to handle dozens of children who don't want to be there and constant complaints from their helicopter parents.

I want to want to teach, but I can't imagine transitioning from burnt-out in tech to teaching in a public school. I'm far more interested in looking into mentoring and after-school programs with voluntary participation.
