According to the Captivate Network, men are twice as likely as women to advance at each career transition stage. One rule is that men are more likely than women to do things that help their personal well-being at work, therefore, contradicting burnout. Men are 25 percent more likely to take breaks throughout the day for personal activities, 7 percent more likely to take a walk, 5 percent more likely to go out to lunch, and 35 percent more likely to take breaks “just to relax.”

It is assumed that the millennial women have never experienced relaxation. Therefore, one possible reason of their burning out early in their careers is that after spending their childhoods to obtain great careers, they have simply reached the point of exhaustion. Some women while plotting their first career objectives had unrealistic expectations about full- time job and are unaware of the day to day office hardships. According to Forbes Kelly Cutrone, president of People’s Revolution PR and author of "Go Outside If You Need To Cry says “College is nothing more than a baby-sitting service. These students are totally unprepared for the real world. The reality for women who want to work in PR is that they are going to be working with 24 catty [women] who will backstab and compete with them. No one will say thank you. You will eat lunch at 5 p.m. It sucks and it’s hard work,”

Quitting Job does not seem to be the right solution for some woman because their professional education often burdens them with considerable student debt. Women belonging from the earlier generations have opted to quit their jobs after marriage or motherhood but the self sufficient women of today , who either are single or are not willing to take support from men do not feel like selecting the path of abandoning their jobs.
