Weighing stability against personal well-being

I've been working 60-70 hours a week, sacrificing my personal life, due to a job that's now under fire for mismanagement and compliance issues

What I wish I knew
"I should've demanded a better work-life balance and higher pay sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let fear of the job market hold you back from seeking better opportunities"
