This. Many of the folks I worked with liked 35 hour weeks and stayed in consulting because they were avid cyclists/surfers/hikers/etc.

The sort of folks that like high pay and poor work/life balance end up at big valley companies in my experience.

Meh. Big valley companies isn't the right criteria. There are "lifestyle businesses", and then there are other businesses. People do tend to make a conscious choice between the two.
