I love my job but sometimes I feel like it’s to the detriment of my mental and physical health. How do you find balance between work and taking care of yourself?

You just have to set real boundaries between your work life and your personal life. And you have to enforce them. Don't allow work to take over all your time, be ruthless in saying no to time commitments that take things too far. And do what you can to avoid bringing thoughts of work home with you.

Feeling this sm tonight

You need to give yourself time make it priority - I like to walk everyday !

OP I totally understand how you are feeling. I feel like in healthcare it is so easy to get burned out because many of us end up working way more than 40 hours and its exhausting. I make sure to take lots of time off when I need it and I use every hour of my PTO. And I listen to my body when it is telling me I need a day off.

I work for a tech company that pays 100k tc plus 50,000 stock options. I have great work life balance, work 4 days per week on a 32 hour schedule plus it’s remote. Lately, I’ve been feeling like the compensation is on the lower end and just wanted to see if it’s in line with industry standards

Please suggest in terms of learning, job security and work life balance which organisation to go for in the current time from the below offers...
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
