I think the variance wrt expected work load is way larger in industry though. Plenty of my friends working at FAANG companies have a really chill lifestyle, which is true of very few of my grad school friends. The notion that profs have way less work than industry in particular is crazy to me, their workloads are simply insane (at least for more junior faculty, but often also for senior ones).
