I&#x27;m always intrigued when I hear about 0 work-life balance in SV. Maybe I&#x27;ve gotten lucky, but I&#x27;ve worked at a small startup (first 10 hires), a medium sized startup (150 people), and a big tech company (10k people) and at all of them I was able to be home by 6pm every day, even with an hour commute, to spend evenings with my family.
