I've seen people at sw companies like Amzn and Apple tell me that they don't have good wlb or almost no time for anything except work+eat+sleep. here's approximately what their day looks like:

Sleep at 2 am
Wake up at 10-11 am
Do some work for couple hours
Eat lunch at 1-2 pm
Work another hour or 2
Sleep at 3 pm
Wake up at 5, work till 8-10 pm
Dinner
Random stuff/work/gaming till 2 am
Repeat

Here's what my schedule looks like:
Sleep at 11 pm-midnight
Wake up at 7-7:30
Start work at 8 am
8-12noon, work work work
12-1 light exc + lunch
1-5/6/7 pm again work
Exercise +food prep 6-8pm (Monday-wed/Thursday, thu-Fri out after 6 pm)
Dinner 8 pm
8-11 personal time
Repeat

While i am sure there are many people who have a lot of work and oncall weeks are different but atleast 1st get your schedules right before complaining about wlb.
