Some of my friends who went into PE while not being built for it are shells of their former selves. They think & talk about work 24/7, hate their job but can’t quit because it has a mental hold on them. They make a ton of money but spend none of it. No way to live your 20s IMO

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?
