Are we overthinking the comp, benefits, wlb and the sort?
Sometimes I wish I could just do the job and not think about any of those things. But then I look at the time and nine hours passed by and I still have three hours left before I can say that I made a ding to my To Do list for the day.

In China, the 996 is standard. Expected to work from 9AM to 9PM 6 days per week. It's recognized as a pretty brutal work regimen. If you are anywhere close to a 996, then no, you are not overthnking WLB and it's most definitely an issue.

This is simply not true. 996 is not standard. It exists mostly in IT industry. Software engineer is also a high compensation job in China, similar to in the states. And WLB in PA is bad regardless of location.

Compared to all types of jobs, we still have it pretty good. Most of the folks I met that did secondments/work abroad to the US were trying to get themselves permanently relocated to the US.

American firm pays much better than most others even when CoL is factored in

Sure… more money for people willing to negotiate and look for more 💰
