Having worked in an environment where there was a constant onslaught of customer issues. I can tell you that even though I was offered more than 7 hours of sleep, my days were absolutely terrible. Fire-fighting all day, and never getting to work on the features that we promised to deliver led to me lying in bed awake. My mental health was extremely fragile. My physical health was worse. The promise of "Work/Life Balance" needs to be clarified. Does the "work" part bleed into your "life" part? Does the job make it possible to truly disconnect? Some of that is based on personality (I aim to provide value, and am truly jazzed when I know people are pleased with my performance), but some of that is based on what your daily grind looks like. If you are constantly dealing with a nightmare for even 8 hours of your day, it doesn't matter what the rest of your day is like.
