Looking for advice, is work life balance actually possible as a project manager?

Hi everyone

Would really appreciate any kind support from this platform. I'm just trying to figure out if my current situation is reasonable or if I need to change roles entirely.

Been a PM for a few years now and it feels like the job just doesn't allow for a proper work life balance, constant site visits, client calls after hours, deadline pressure. Would love to know about others experiences, especially PMs working on complex commercial projects. Any thoughts are appreciated.
