A couple of years ago I used to take full ownership of my service and drive everything. Used to help out my manager in distributing tasks and learn on my own, stay up late, try to improve the service and monitor it. Onboard the new developers, help out the new engineers too. I worked at a SMB at that time. I wanted to get into big tech and joined Microsoft.
As time as gone by, I am gradually becoming a coaster. I just do not have that drive anymore for some reason. I just joined Microsoft and I am afraid this will eventually show and send wrong signals to my manager and skip. I do not think I have lost passion for software engineering as a whole but it seems to be a combination of burnout, anxiety and intimidation of big company tech world.
What would be path forward? I think I should take vacation but I am new here so bit scared...

Btw Microsoft is all about WLB and people celebrating 30 year service awards. There shouldn’t be any stigma to you taking vacation days.
