@OP No kid, but I earned my pay by not taking shit earlier in my career and always demanding what I was worth. Can’t say people always agreed or gave it to me but I was lucky enough (mostly, also smart with savings) to be able to either insist or walk away.

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
