Is Work/Life Balance with a 6-Figure Salary Just a Myth?

I’m a 34-year-old woman working as a software engineer in Austin, pulling in over $120k a year. On paper, it sounds like I’ve got it all—great pay, flexible hours, and a job that’s always in demand. But lately, I feel like I’m drowning in endless Zoom calls and late-night bug fixes. I keep hearing about people who have both a great salary and a real work/life balance, but is that actually possible? I love my field, but the constant pressure and blurred boundaries are wearing me down. Has anyone truly found a career where you don’t have to sacrifice your sanity for your paycheck? Or is this just a fantasy we keep chasing? I’d love to hear your advice or stories. 😩💻 #CareerAdvice #WorkLifeBalance #HighPayingJobs #JobCareer
