WLB is a myth.

In most companies, both are inversely proportional to each other.

I think the two are part of each other. You need a fair salary in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance. But assuming that salary is fair and that we are comparing a high increase with a good work-life balance, then I would go for the latter. In fact I would happily forgo my promotion for a 4 days work week, for example!

Learning during first few years, wlb in the next few years and salary in the last few years.

This is a tough question. I think you have enough work life balance to upskill yourself and pursue your interests, automatically job offers and salary will come with it
