Any tips on finding a <40hr/week salaried job in the U.S.? I am remote-first too. And like you, I like to make music outside of work, and it's difficult to do so with long hours. (EDIT: finding -- or carving out, or negotiating, etc)
I've found it difficult to even broach the subject of work-life balance or expected hours. The norm (50+ hours a week) is so unhealthy, and I hate that it's taboo to even discuss it. I'd gladly discuss lower expected hours and lower base pay.
