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😵‍💫

    Fairly highly. I'm letting my manager berate me every week and my entire team doesn't even talk to me anymore because I'm a relatively low performer (i.e. the only one on my team with a life and personality other than work). I do work pretty focused 40-45 hours/week though which says a lot about the WLB on my team

    I'm pretty ready to leave my industry though and have decent savings for the first time in my life which is why I'm throwing caution to the wings wrt my career

    Only reason why I haven't quit/worked even less hours is for the visa because my partners and friends here + the weather is so much better than the UK

      That sounds awful, 45 hours a week is already quite a lot, I hope you find a good solution.

      I see that you moved to the US, which is my plan too (depending on how the coming years play out, but weather is honestly a big factor for me too😅), so I'd also need to stick it out for the visa.
