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😵‍💫

Work-life balance is about asserting your boundaries at a company which allows you to assert your boundaries. You can’t assert boundaries at a company which will fire you for it, but also most companies aren’t going to refuse extra free labor if you give it to them no matter how good their company culture is.

The issue is I can't assert boundaries as the period with the worst work-life-balance is a medical residency so I'll have to tough it out at least until I'm done with residency (which takes 5-8 years🥲)
