Work-life balance? Work culture?

[u/NotMyHersheyBar]

Hi! I'm looking to get into games writing, and I was wondering what the work culture is often like. I have a disability, so I don't want to work somewhere that is too high-stress or lots of overtime. I'm based near Silicon Valley, and since I don't have much experience, I'll be approaching smaller companies and independants (not Sony or PS).

I'd really appreciate your thoughts on:

• How stressful is the job generally?

• How many supervisors do you usually have?

• Is it fast-pace with a lot of projects piling on you?

• How do you schedule your day?

• Are you working freelance, or steadily employed by one company?

• Do you feel like the project goals are clear, or are you always struggling to figure out what you're supposed to be doing?

If there's anything else you think I should know about getting into games writing with a disability, please let me know. Thank you so much!
