"Working in software engineering often means long working hours. Most of the time, you are glued to a computer screen, with little work-life balance."
For sure this is true. The younger you are, the easier it is to deal with and be amazingly productive.
As you get older, life creeps back in and you get a bit of balance.
When you get to my age it becomes less about screentime and more about problem solving. Something I am very happy about.
Eh that's one of the least universal ones in there. I've worked in tech for a decade now across 6 positions in 4 companies and I have never had any complaints about WLB. If anything, I frequently feel like I'm getting away with something when it comes to how little I can actually get by with doing if I want to.
