WLB in tech is probably almost always better than in financial firms, if I had to guess, but it does depend on the company to a large degree. Is there a company in particular you are looking at?

WLB in tech for that route is pretty okay, although I'd argue that tech is not the best area to be in...I think there are some really cool opps though and the work doesn't feel as nuts as other areas

My personal view is b2b > b2c, only because there is a lot more opportunity to drive value and you're playing with bigger numbers. Uber might be a disruptor but it's not stable, but b2b businesses don't fall AS badly into that trap. Not seeing it's invincible but better prospects overall. Fintech is pretty solid too

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.
