Just got a verbal offer for a senior FP&A role at a healthcare company in San Diego—$115K base, 15% bonus, hybrid schedule. Sounds decent, but I’ve heard the finance team is stretched and burn-out is common. I want to grow, but not at the cost of my mental health. Any tips for getting a real sense of work-life balance before I sign?

I’d definitely try to talk to someone on the team if you can—maybe ask if they’d be open to a casual coffee chat before you accept. Even asking the hiring manager, “What does success look like in this role without burning out?” can reveal a lot. I’ve found that how they answer matters more than the actual words.
