How stressful is web development really?

How stressful is web development really?

I keep getting matched with this role (front end), and I keep seeing horror stories about long hours and sleeping at your desk (quite honestly, nothing would make me run faster).

I love coding (which I didn’t expect as a liberal arts grad) and brining designs to life. But I don’t want to work all hours.

    Depends if you work for a contractor, depending on the clients wish list and if your boss oversold the dream could translate into you working long hrs to either get the job done or not. If you can get in with a stable mid to large size company or agency there is more than enough staff to share responsibility so us have some down time
