One of my favorite questions to ask a company when interviewing is how the work-life balance is. There will be managers who will reject you just for asking this question.
There are also managers who will see someone who has a healthy mindset and is actually considering a long-term stay at that company.
Work-life balance should be challenged when you're building up your own company, not when you're building up someone else's.
My business revenue HIGHLY depends on how the dev market is doing. Yet, EVERY single failure of my business is on me. I fucked up more times than I can count.
The "market" has NOTHING to do with my success or lack of success in different areas. My ability to adjust to the market, learn, and grow DOES.
One of the most common successful traits I see in junior developers who break into the industry is ownership. Unconditional ownership. They don't waste their energy blaming "the market". They own what they're failing at and what they need to improve to be successful, no matter the perceived barriers.
For those posting about how much you're struggling and how hopeless you think the market is, I ALMOST NEVER see a list of things you're fucking up with and excited to improve. Because those who primarily focus on the latter, even just internally, will outcompete you in the long-run.
Especially with politics, the internet often distorts what is the popular opinion around important topics. That's mainly due to the algorithms serving you content that you're most likely to engage with (even just with your watch time). People more often engage with things that evoke their emotions and it just creates a nasty spiral of a content algorithm for you.
In my experience, most people are more moderate than the internet makes you believe.
But I could be wrong! So I just wanted to test this theory. What do you usually identify as?

Could you ever see yourself starting any of these? And if so, which medium would you prefer?
I'm mainly curious about if you wanted to talk about a topic and put it out there to the world, what medium (text, audio, video) would you prefer?
