It it probably not a 40 hour a week job in the sense that it's on your mind all the time. But it's also not a 40 week job because you don't need to be around from 9-5 as what matters is that you make good decisions, therefore you need to prioritise your mental health a lot. In my case this meant stuff like going for a 2 hour long run in the middle of the day, because clearing my head was the best I could do for my work. The problem with this attitude is that it is hard to transition to peacetime, normal stuff doesn't seem important (e.g. it is very hard to take a normal product decision that seriously if you've seen deep existential crises before).
