AIBU to think this actually exists?

Hi

I'm working in a middle management, marketing role in financial services. Since the pandemic (and before if I'm brutally honest but it's certainly worse since working from home full time) I find myself working crazy hours.

Work 8.30-5.30pm - mainly in meetings so little time to focus and get work done, put the kids to bed, then carry on working. Go to bed then rinse and repeat. It's exhausting. It's not just me either - my husband is in exactly the same position.

Is there a job out there where you actually work your hours, get paid well (in my eyes around £60k out of london) and have a nice work life balance? Evenings to relax.

It might just be my employer but really feel that we cram so much more into our days now we all work from home. And it's now just become the norm. And I hate it!

So...
IABU - no it doesn't exist, stop moaning and get on with it
YANBU - it does exist. If so what job do you do and what's your salary?

We were in the same situation OP until I reached burnout earlier this year and left. Luckily I had some redundancy money from my previous role to fall vack on, sm now trying to reduce our spending so I can get a lesser paid job and have a life

It depends. How important money is to you.

Can you have a pay cut for an easier life?
