Are there any careers in the industry that aren’t high-pressure jobs?

I mean, no offense to you but I feel like at the right company your job doesn't have to be too high pressure. It's very important, of course, but in terms of putting in hours and work culture etc, you should be able to get enough support that it wouldn't kill your home life. If you want less responsibility, you will probably benefit from getting away from the client side of things.

Agreed with this. What industry do you work for? It depends so much on that because you can work the same position in a different industry and it will be night and say

I think that my position is pretty low stress. It has it's moments where I'm working crazy hours but for the most part I have a good work life balance.

Do you think it's the job or your work climate? Once I thought my job was really high-pressure. Then my management shifted and it was way more easy going

Hmm. I think it really depends on your company and role. At first, I thought my job was high-pressure since I am working at a big company. But that's not the case at all.

Yes. And I believe it really depends on your company and what industry you are working for.
