I would suggest cutting out meetings to bring back some work life balance. I would also suggest just not working on the weekend. Tell them any excuse you want (sounds like there are many valid ones) and just don't play the game. If they complain, have a hard talk about cutting scope.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving.

Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
