Honestly I'm kinda a coaster. I'll go in and get my work done but I want to have evenings free for family, hobbies, a flexible WFH and long lunches if needed to meet with friends. Capital One has given me that and it's great but I've heard recently that Microsoft has similar WLB overall. (Obviously it's very team dependent and "YMMV" etc...) If that's true I'd be interested in switching for higher TC and more interesting projects, can anyone confirm or suggest other companies for people who enjoy work but not interested in the rat race?

Join any companies satellite office.

All i known is google at Kirkland as satellite office. Is there any more ?
OP, your location? Are you SDE?
If you're committed to northern virginia you might want to consider the Microsoft office there. I know Splunk, Oracle, and some others tech satellites are there and I think they are more relaxed.
Microsoft in general has good WLB except Azure/Dynamics. But the pay is low, SDE2 salary almost close to what you make now. Seattle area is expensive for MS salary. Also MS has some good talent in most teams, so a bit competitive. People are smart here to get there work done in short time and then chill. They are smart enough so they could get into FANG but stayed here to enjoy the WLB.
