Is it okay to think about work life balance while working in a startup
I mean early teams at series a plus.. I am 38. And if yes, how do you do it while being a good performer?
I work in a startup, have been since the past 4 years. Earlier it was WFH, I had the liberty to work whenever I want - task had to be done.
With experience, I've felt that my work life balance has gone for a toss. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I feel exhaused and burnt out. This is also sucking out ownership from what I do.
To all the GVs out here, have you guys tried doing something that's helped you? Or are we all on the same boat here? Are folks in MNCs going through the same? Genuinely seeking for help here.
I just feel ki, I should stop running behind money now. Take a pay cut if needed and join a company thats a bit more established.
Ps: In my case working from office seems like a total waste of time. I had been so much more productive at home.
Thanks!
Work-life balance? That's a myth, just like the Yeti. Burnout? It's a startup, not a spa. Work hard or find a government job.
Make some time for yourself in a day. It can be for gym, socialising or any other activity which u like. As I see, after WFH, people tried sitting behind laptop throughout the day, missing many other aspects of life.
With you on the same boat, for sure.
However, a couple of things may be tried:
Stay strong friend.
Thanks friend!
Off-topic but why do we call ourselves GVs and not Viners (Whiners)? Wouldn't that be more suitable?

I have worked in startup’s all my life and I haven’t come across a single founder who has the sensibility to make it big.
The last two years have burnt me out. I have been working 16 hours a day and have no time left for anything else....
I’ve been working in a startup since last 8 months and I am exhausted. The team size is around 30 (frontend and backend). Some weekends are working too and there’s nothing like timings. I am left with nothing but just work, no other act...
