That's tough. Throughout my entire career almost no one cared about work life balance, although some claimed that they did. It depends on your role. Have you ever heard the following: "It's IT. Of course there's on-call and weekend work"? I have, dozens of times.
Work-life balance is a matter of good management and - in the United States - a LOT of luck. It's extremely rare in tech in the medium to high paying roles. It's endemic to the tech culture, and the competitive nature of people. In tech and especially in finance. There are personality types that get you tarnished for suggesting work-life balance is a thing.
