Sounds like you aren't happy doing what you're doing. I'd be willing to be it has nothing to do with being connected all the time either.
I personally work in "inside sales", so outside of being on call for after hours bs every so often, I am done with work once I leave the office. And I love it.
I see how some of our company's account managers / outside salesmen are constantly connected and how tiresome it can be. I have no desire to do that. Sure they make more than I do, but to me, my quality of life and not having to worry about work past 5-6 PM (or on weekends) is more important.
Work to live.

No, I really do love my job. It is very gratifying 95% of the time. I worked in miserable b2b sales prior to, so I've seen the absolute worst to be able to appreciate what I have.

I am in inside sales too at the moment and love that I don't have to worry about shite once I get off but I will be moving to outside sales soon because I like the money.

I agree and disagree. Most of my customers are close with me and they do like doing things after work/weekends and it can be a burden at times, however I see how much harder our inside guys work and I really appreciate them. I also appreciate I don't have to sit in the office all day or have a set schedule.
I may work 60+ hours one week and 20 the next. It's all a trade off.
