In most jobs, the line between work and personal life is rapidly disappearing.

Thanks to 24/7 connectivity, it’s easy to check email and put in extra hours on nights, weekends, and even during vacations, says Scott Dobroski, Glassdoor‘s community expert.

"Inevitably, there are some jobs that may require more attention during and out of normal office hours," Dobroski tells Business Insider. "Before accepting a job, job seekers should do their research to understand the hours that are expected in the role, where and how they can get their work done, and the overall nature of the job."

Think it’s impossible to find a well-paid job that allows you a life outside of work? Think again. There are plenty, even in the tech sector.

Glassdoor last released a report on jobs that provide the best work-life balance in 2016. However, Sarah Stoddard, another community expert at Glassdoor, explains that certain fields will usually have a better work-life balance than others.

"Jobs in technology, business operations, and marketing tend to tout strong work-life balance compared to those in other industries, which is a reflection of the high demand for this skilled talent. For those with sought-after technical and soft skills, especially in today’s tight labor market, job seekers have more options to decide where they want to work and what they expect often goes beyond having a high-paying salary and strong workplace culture," Stoddard tells Business Insider. "For employers, this means that promoting flexible working and work-life balance is an effective way of attracting top talent in a hot job market."

Here are the 25 jobs employees have said offered the best balance between work and personal life, as well as the current average annual salary, according to Glassdoor.
