A healthy work/life balance prevents burnout and ensures job satisfaction. Employees should also avoid bringing additional stress or drama from home into their professional domain. Share with your interviewer how you ensure balance through time management, effective project management, and stress management. Showcase how you avoid bringing your work stress home and your stress from home to work.

"I find that, with the right company, it's pretty simple to balance life and work. When I enjoy what I do, it doesn't feel like a chore. I am always sure that when at home, my family gets my attention first. I take time on the weekends to do things for myself and rest before the work week begins. I also tend to and manage the demands of my domestic life so that they don't bleed over into my work."

"I understand that not every day will be balanced. I can achieve a great work/life balance when I take the time to do something for myself. Whether that be a quick workout or cooking a delicious meal when I get home."

I find that with the right company, it's pretty simple to balance life and work. When you truly enjoy what you do, it doesn't feel like work. From my own personal career experience, at times our working environment did not provide balance, so I would make sure to take time to do something for the ones I love and myself.

I think that if you are working on an exciting goal and are passionate about what you are contributing to, then it is not a burden but something you are excited to get started on the next day. I have had those projects that really energize you by collaborating with other engineers with the same mindset and shared passion for the goal.
Stephanie's Feedback
It's great to hear that you bring passion and enthusiasm to your work, but you should be careful here to directly answer the question you've been asked. I suggest providing a sentence or two about how you achieve a work and life balance. Hiring managers want to know that you have a great self-care strategy in place and won't burn out easily on the job!
