You don't sound like you can't miss too badly. Many good options.
Decide now, before you get drawn in, what your specific minimum acceptable financial and family time goals are.
If you are going to burn the midnight oil, you get less time with your son and your soon to be wife. Talk to her about it. You want to be a unified team that has a battle plan that you both support and work toward.
Those things you name and want, be sure you are measuring them and getting them. If you succeed and make a lot of money, it can feel right to chase the money long after you've made plenty. If that is a choice you made and own, that's good. If it is a place you wake up and find yourself in, that is not good, even if the result is good.
If you set family as your top thing, don't go home to strangers. Don't be the always too exhausted to interact guy.
If you set money as the top thing, make sure your wife is part of that path and not some other ball you have to try impossibly to hold up. Do this either by her direct participation or by taking the time to keep her looped in when you get home - but do it. She is on your team and you are on hers.
