Here's my anecdote to balance your anecdote:
I was getting paid very well in a junior position at CERN, rarely working more than 7.5 hours a day, doing interesting things, and with a hefty bonus when I took a three day long weekend business trip.

- matmatmatmat 4y agoI'm not sure this is much of a counterbalance? I think you can generally expect junior positions to have less responsibility and stress, at the expense of virtually no chance of moving up unless you really, really grind, and even then, there's not a lot of space at CERN. I think you really have to love it to the exclusion of all else and be smarter than your already smart peers to succeed there.
