I have never had issues with terrible WLB, but I have also never sought out FAANG in SV (and never have been anywhere $1m+). The closest I've been was Biotech. I am not sure that I would trade my WLB for a much more stressful job that pays 2-3x what I make now. It could mean that my spouse "retire" from work and take care of the home and kids, while still maintaining the ability of hiring external help. In that case, the increase in work stress may be compensated by reduced stress of household management

"You don't have to explain yourself to us. This code is the result of the context it has been written in. We are only having this conversation because the product that you helped build by writing that code is successful. Because of this success we now have the chance to spend time and think about how we can improve the code"

Beautiful!
