So yaa, how do you like balance work-life-balance and interests. I’m considering a job or however to put it that is known for awful work-life-balance, but is also incredibly interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it😩

Like I do want to get married and have a family and such at some point, but that is in no way guaranteed, especially not considering my circumstances, meanwhile focusing on career seems more safe I suppose😵‍💫

    Without doxxing yourself, what kind of job or what field? People meet and fall in love etc in just about any scenario, but if you’re going on a whaling ship or something then yeah it could be tough

      A surgical subspecialty (I’m currently in med school), I can specify the specialty further if necessary, but it’s know for having a terrible work-life-balance (at least during residency where you’d be regularly pushing 70+ hours a week).

      The main issue is that I’m trans, so dating is a truly terrible nightmare. I can’t really date people I know or people who are related to my network as I would then have to break stealth and out myself, which I want to avoid by any means.
