I'm 26, a robotics engineer in Germany, and my life is basically airports and hotel rooms. My company is booming, and I’m making good money, but my phone never stops buzzing—work calls at midnight are just normal now. An 8-hour workday? That’s a fantasy. Most days, I’m clocking 10-12 hours, sometimes even more. I have amazing friends and a supportive family, but I barely see them. I’m outgoing, but my social life is on life support. Dating? Forget it—I’m never in one place long enough. I keep telling myself to grind hard now, hoping it’ll pay off later, but honestly, I’m exhausted and starting to wonder if it’s worth it. Has anyone else gone through this? Did sacrificing your 20s for work actually pay off in the end? I’d really love to hear your stories or advice. 😅 #WorkLifeBalance #CareerAdvice #Overwork #JobCareer
