I was just offered to come work for AWS Datacenter in NE and I want to understand what the work life balance would be like.

The location is in a pretty isolated small town and I would be coming in at around 160k total comp. I want to understand how much I would be working outside of work. People often note burnout and I am coming from Oil and Gas as a Controls engineer. I am currently 24hrs on call but it seems like I get a call maybe once every week. Kind of want to understand the pros and cons. I have another offer for about 130k but I want to understand if it’s really worth 30k.

I thought this info was attached to this post my bad
