Is life any easier/more balanced if working in the crypto space? Has anyone made this move? Would love to hear

I think it really depends on the company more than anything.

I haven't made the move personally but I have a friend who did. I wouldn't say its any easier but he does seem to have better wlb than I do.

I doubt it. I have a few friends who were cut and left stranded when crypto crashed, and their jobs weren't all that secure to begin with. This is just an assumption, but I feel like it's kind of chaotic.

Nope. Just as chaotic as anything else in finance. Best bet for wlb in this industry is making a FIRE plan imo.

Is it realistic to have a decent WLB if you’re a parent and working in MBB/T2 in Dubai? Is it guaranteed that you’d be travelling Monday-Thursday? Currently, I have a decent WLB in London but money is very attractive in Dubai but don’t want to miss my child growing up if I’m expected to not be home >80% of the time.
Any parents working in Dubai MBB/T2 have an answer?
