Confused!
So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?

What's your total experience .

6 months with a design agency and 1 year as a freelancer.

It depends. Do you like the work that you do and are happy with everything else except for WLB? If so try talking to your client about better time management. Remember it's okay to say no to things. Early on most of us take on unrealistic workloads but it's always important to remember it doesn't always equal deserved rewards. Often the client or the manager on the other end does not realise how unrealistic what's asked of you is. If the situation is still the same after such conversations you can consider leaving because sometimes just being vocal can do wonders for you.

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
