In an interview is it a bad idea to ask about workload? I have a comfortable job now, but the chance to get a position I may like more. I am a big believer in work/life balance and just want to know

You should absolutely ask about this. Ask something around, how often does the team work nights and weekends. This is a totally normal question, It doesn't look weak, it makes it look like you know the industry and want to make sure the role is a good fit for you.

I mean you can and should ask about culture and how worklife balance plays into that. Any hiring manager who is concerned that you want a life is not someone you should work for and you should want to find that out early. I wouldn’t frame it up as “workload” though

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
