The author, originally from London, has lived in the US for 20 years and feels that while the experience has boosted self-confidence and provided financial benefits, the unhealthy work-life balance remains a significant challenge. They find that the work culture in the US, especially the East Coast, consumes people's lives more than in many European countries. The author struggles to balance work-related commitments with personal life, often finding themselves working late and unable to take time off, which ultimately diminishes their quality of life despite higher salaries in the US compared to the UK.
Living in the US has greatly enhanced my self-confidence, but the work-life balance here presents a constant struggle that's making me consider relocating.
The high salaries in the US are appealing, especially for funding a decent lifestyle, but maintaining a healthy work-life balance feels unattainable.
