I’m in a career that is supposed to be notorious for not allowing work-life balance…. But my experience hasn’t been that bad honestly. I work hard, but I also like my job most days and most of the time I can’t believe I get paid what I do for a job that is usually pretty fun.

But maybe all of that is just Stockholm Syndrome…. It does seem like I work more late nights and more weekends than a lot of people I know. For me the pandemic was tough because I transitioned to working entirely from home and that was when work-life balance actually started to feel impossible, ironically enough. I’m much happier now that I can spend most days working at the office, check out around 6 and be home for dinner and a board game with the kids most nights.
