I've posted this elsewhere before. I hope it helps. The truth is there are no real fixes in our lives. Everything gets worn down. This is pretty much a central concept in many philosophies and religions through the ages. Fighting burn out, re-energizing, being unsatisfied for while, being satisfied for a while, etc is just going to happen to you. Work with it. But don't be short sighted to think "Oh its my career, if I was instead $some_other_job_youll_hate, things would be perfect." Personally, I follow a lifestyle of relatively low materialism and focus on engaging experiences instead of chasing products or salaries. This mostly translates into traveling instead of buying. There's no way to win this game, you can only occasionally step off it. I also find side creative side projects help as they take my mind off work and remove work from the "fulfillment" side of my life. Who cares about bullshit at work when I have a robot to build at home or when Im trying to finish the game I'm writing or the basement remodeling I'm planning. I also have a lot of success with meditation, being slightly more compassionate and tolerant (even of things I know are wrong), and living a slower paced/low drama life. I try to think about the right things, not the default things. I try to not let the world get to me. I'm not often good at it, but at least I'm cognizant of trying. DFW talks a bit about this here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI I found bringing these attitudes into my work life helped a lot. Its hard to explain, but I think when you get your ducks in a row in a general they naturally get in a row at work as well.
