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😵‍💫

I think it depends entirely on where you are in life. If this can be a temporary stepping stone to something much better then it may be worth it. If it would jeopardize your current lifestyle and relationships (or prevent you from improving in this area) it might not be.

I'm still in my early 20s, but with my current goal/idea in mind I'd be spending most of my 20s and 30s grinding to reach it. My current lifestyle ain't great as I'm a student, so it would only be worse in regards to hours worked per week.
