You can certainly have a great work-life balance in the U.S., you just won't make mind-bending levels of compensation. When people are talking about 60 hour weeks and making $600k a year, they're usually thinking of FAANG companies, but it's not the case that everyone in tech in the U.S. works for one of those companies. All the non-FAANG tech companies I've worked for have had both great benefits and great work-life balance, with a salary that still competes favorably with the equivalent roles in Europe.
