Promoted to L8 (director software dev) in Q1. Single threaded owner for my charter (engineering, science, product) with a 250+ people org. Leadership has confidence in me, I have a solid team and a clear growth path in my role but the stress levels are high and I don’t see that changing.
I want to be optimize for WLB and maintain my comp even if it slows down my growth.
Should I move out of Amazon? If yes, which companies / orgs / roles would provide a better WLB?

TC: 700k YoE: 20
