Not forced but it helps . I put a few hours in most weekends

I'm not forced, but if I want to keep my sanity, I have to work a few hours over the weekends. I don't like starting the week feeling like I'm behind the 8-ball.

I've never felt "forced" to work over the weekends. Though I do sometimes put in some weekend hours when there is something I need to get caught up on.

Never, just depends if I’m ok with being behind that next week. Same deadline and same amount of work to do.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
