How can I tell if I’m burn out or I just don’t like the job

Struggling with answering this question and hoping maybe ppl that felt the same have figured out a way to frame the answer (I know different for everyone). Having been in the industry for a few years, I have generally liked researching businesses, like markets, pitching stock ideas, etc, but have just kept thinking if the constant stress is worth it and grown to be a bit more indifferent/uninterested in things that I thought were interesting. For the ppl that have left the industry and gone to work for corporate or even different job totally, why did you do it? For those that have stayed, other than money what keeps you motivated?
