Startup land is most likely to burn you out with its relentless 80+ weeks (but depends on the you live - there are cultural differences).

But you could work as a freelancer/contractor or be employed for a few years at a slower-paced show e.g. a gov agency. Once you get bored by it, and after you have had time to recover from burn out, and have had the chance to spend more time with the family, you can always change pace again.

I would not agree to any contract with a pager-duty clause, personally, apart way back when I worked as a paramedic.
