i've left jobs that had poor work life balance before and i knew i had that leverage because of my linux acumen.
they'll drop and kick you to curb without a moment's notice and it doesn't matter how much you sacrificed for them or the project; so you would do well to regard them the same way that they'll regard you when that drop-kicking curb comes around again.
the only possible exception, in my experience, is if you're natural friends with someone highly placed in management or leadership; but even then it fails more often than not because even tech-bros have their pet issues.
It is in the medical field, so while I'd still be underappreciated, there is such a lack of personnel that the odds of being let go are near zero unless I massively mess up. The main issue is the residency part after I have my degree which will be truly awful work-life-balance-wise, but after that it eases up a bit.
