> But, for about 2 1/2 years, I only had 1 day off a week, and I was working 10-12 hours a day

Just want you to know that these kind of working conditions are illegal in parts of the worls. Do not accept this as normal.

For sure. It lasted longer than it should have, and it was more severe than expected, but new people filling in the cracks by working crazy hours is kind of built into the structure of the company. Thankfully, I cleared that hurdle, and I have a lot more control over how much I work.

I actually picked the job because of work/life balance, and it's been really good the last few months. But, you're absolutely right, and I appreciate the concern :^)
