    I was interested in couple of interesting jobs at Amazon (developing Alexa's Engine for one) and what I've heard reviews from interns or employees that Amazon's culture doesn't really support work-life balance. I was skeptical until this article about an interview with Jeff. Wow! I work hard, but I'm not about to give my soul too. What's to you about WLB?

        I work to live. I do NOT live to work!

        I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave

          Work: It is about 8 to 10 hour per day therefore a bigger part. I try to live also during work hours. Means I do the best to find a Job which I really like and can be a part of my live:)

          It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

              I agree. Get the best, most interesting work possible so that you don't spend most of your life doing something that you don't want to do. Of course, it is not always possible. I wish you could really get paid for the intersection of : * what you're best at * what you love doing The more you can make your day intersect with both of those, the happier you are.

                  I happen to love what I do for a living (building software) and happen to really like the company I work for and the team I'm in.  This causes me to have a self-induced work/life imbalance (for which I'm recognized and rewarded). /ravi

                    I think work-life balance is very important. Happy employees work better. I try to leave work at work and make sure I have time to relax after hours and weekends. That being said, I haven't had a proper holiday in more than a year and I'm planning on taking a few weeks off to rest.
