What is a good work life balance

Seen many reviews about companies having a good or bad WLB. As a fresher, I would love to know what experienced people consider a good work life balance and how important it is while judging a company? Any other factors to consider?

WLB is personal preference based on your aspirations. So you're the right judge whether you need it or not..

To assess WLB in a company, ask current or former employees about their availability after working hours and on weekends. Find out if they are expected or required to work during these times.

Differs from team to team.. But it's definitely not a 9-5 job..

Based on my experience Wlb is more manager centric rather than company centric

Upto 8 hours of work per day and maximum 5 days per week can be considered as good work life balance.

Can anybody name some Indian companies with good work life balance ? Or is it a myth ? And no , I’m not looking at government jobs , just IT companies or companies with IT wings :)

Work Life Balance

I see a lot of posts about WLB, I want to know what do you consider as a decent WLB. I will go first.

  1. Leave early if the work for that day is done
  2. No pings and calls post work hours, there are always exceptions and thats okay, ...

Rule of thumb If you get work thoughts outside 9-6 or weekends, it's not WLB.

Micro-management is the biggest red flag for me and also night shifts.

This WLB is a shit dream; just a lie. Org like Google is pushing AI team more than 80 hours a week!
