[quote=Anonymous]I make $100k a year, and work full time (avg 40 hrs/wk, but it's a compressed schedule with longer days & every other Friday off). Most weeks, I don't have to check my email when off duty. I've only worked one weekend in the last four years. I chose the field that I did knowing that I'd want a family and some work life balance - I chose a career that would work out at 40 hrs/wk. Even though being a lawyer or a consultant sounded interesting work wise, I knew 60-80 hr work weeks weren't for me. I've been approached to join consulting firms and the annual compensation certainly would be higher, but so would the hours, and when I did the math, my actual hourly rate would not be higher elsewhere. So, overall I'm happy with my choice, even with the downsides. [/quote]
