You are addicted to work you mofo.

Take your money bags/ extra free time and find hobbies outside of work for your fulfillment
I’m the same. I’ll probably be addicted to the grind until I have kids. Or forever. :/

I think you need to find passions outside of your work. How much time do you spend with your family?
Maybe move out
I don't know what else to say other than you're not alone, I'm just like you. Super varied career path, I could never go back to the high comp short hours I worked in tech, I work in IB now.
I have hobbies, friends, I have a life and lots of experiences. The only thing I can think of that's missing is a boyfriend, I guess? But clearly my life isn't empty either.
Constantly has me wondering when the lack of satisfaction will end.

Learn to be content.
It’s ok to not have it all.
This contentment will lead to happiness.

Welcome to startup life.
You absolutely have to love the work otherwise you’re far better off with stability. Even if the startup is a big hit, you will sacrifice health and family for it.

Give us some details on what the company does, it seems like a very interesting and hot startup
Don’t understand why OP is complaining. Startups are all about the mission of building something new with an execution-focused team and an eight figure exit at the end of the day. You don’t complain about the hours in an environment like that.
And that’s the problem. Passion is everything about a startup. If you don’t have that you might as well quit get a rest and vest job in Big Tech
