I went from Microsoft to FB, have been here for a couple of years, it seems to me that I have been working more than twice as much here, i.e. what I deliver in a half would be enough for a year in MSFT. Plus here I have to do extra crap like people axis, direction, posts, quips and lines of codes and number of reviews. At times it feels like the company wants to extract every last drop out of you. I used to feel very relaxed during the holiday season at Microsoft but here it feels very stressful due to the PSC deadlines. My salary increased by 50%, but I wonder if this is worth it. I wonder if this kind of pace is healthy, I think of the analogy with sustainable farming mining etc. In the short term you can increase yield, but over long term unsustainable exploitation of resources is costlier. In this case the resources being your mind and body. On the other hand I also wonder about sustainability of our career long term, so maybe it's better to just exploit yourself short term since you will not have a job in your fifties so at that time there you can retire and rest. What do other people think of this conundrum. TC 400k
What level & yoe
Maybe it's time to take your experience now and go back to Microsoft or somewhere similar for an equal or greater compensation than you're making now?
You can always boomerang back to the country club.
Lmao!

Which team in Microsoft you were in? Reason I ask because Azure also have bad WLB.
I was at Bing
You may still need job in fifties for medical insurance. You wouldn't want to collapse all ur savings in doctors visit.
From reading FIRE blogs I learnt that you can have pretty cheap healthcare through Obamacare as long as you manage careful withdrawal from investment accounts.
There are rumors that folks in thirties, have a risk on whether they ll get a social security when they retire due to huge debt building behind. Obamacare I dont know if that would even exist in my fifties. If I get my anticipated social security money that also would be a miracle. Since many folks are projecting the value of social security might go down 30 years from now.

Who gives a fuck when you get paid so well
You mean in ethical terms, that way even MSFT had a shady past.
Same boat.
You know the rules my friend. TC or GTFO.
