Corporate gigs in science are probably less stressful than corporate engineer jobs. My engineer friends who work for Qualcomm and Friends do seem to work a lot longer hours than those of us in Biotech. Most companies I’ve worked for in biotech pretty much encourage employees to take time during the day to exercise. Not sure if engineer-heavy companies do the same?
There probably is some difference between being glued to a computer all day and spending 50% of one’s time standing and walking in lab.
