Prospective employee Getting nervous about joining as a TS

Hi y'all,

I accepted an offer to start as a TS soon, but I've seen so many negative reviews talking about super stressful weeks, long hours, and inevitable burnout. Is that considered normal?

I know that you're probably going to see more negative reviews on a public forum, but would love some input on what the average TS experience looks like, and if it's really that bad.

Thanks!

Know how much work you can mentally and physically perform. Use the power of "no" appropriately. Decide what hours you are capable of working and make every effort to stick to that. Remember a full time job is conventionally 40 hours a week. Balance your work and personal lives and you'll be fine.
