Confused between the need for upskilling and WLB

Hey everyone,

I am a fresher out of college and I have an offer from a good company, with good pay and WLB. I was wondering that after joining the company, should I upskill myself continuously alongside my job (includes DSA, s System Design etc) or just focus on my job and have a good work life balance?

There are two different contradictory versions of me right now: one says it's necessary to upskill, the other one says to enjoy live to the fullest.

Starting your first job can be challenging, so it's important to pay attention to both your mental and physical well-being.

Don't forget to find enjoyment and have fun along the way.

What is a good work life balance

Seen many reviews about companies having a good or bad WLB. As a fresher, I would love to know what experienced people consider a good work life balance and how important it is while judging a company? Any other factors to consider?
