How much do you prioritize work-life-balance when it comes to career? (hexbear.net)

So yaa, how do you like balance work-life-balance and interests. I'm considering a job or however to put it that is known for awful work-life-balance, but is also incredibly interesting, but I'm not sure if it's worth it😩

Like I do want to get married and have a family and such at some point, but that is in no way guaranteed, especially not considering my circumstances, meanwhile focusing on career seems more safe I suppose😵‍💫

My boss actively chides and reprimands the workers for “bringing work home” since he was promoted 2 years back from being a SUD Counselor and had a boss who would “nudge” people to work at home off hours

Its the bare minimum but its appreciated

That sounds like a decent boss. Generally in my country work-life-balance is very appreciated and emphasized, but the field I'm going into is known for workaholism. I have a friend whose parents are doctors and they work literally all the time😅
