"there are good perks (company issued iPhone!)"

That sounds like a source of stress right there. If the company gives you a phone I assume it means they own your ass every moment of every day.




It's all perspective, I guess. I was pissed when I joined a shop that wouldn't give me a phone. I had been cell phone free for 5 years and didn't want my own. Instead, I get a per-paycheck stipend to cover work-induced costs.

The up-side, however, is that I felt free to unplug my desk phone and totally ignore it. For some reason, that really reduced my stress.


Naw, I'm paid hourly. Also, I'm not that important. If the job was stressful I'd probably put more effort back into finding a start-up job.
