I've been in various technology jobs for many years and have never had a 4 day work week. Maybe it's just me, but I would rather have a 5 day work week with better working conditions than a 4 day work week with meh conditions. And I'm not even close to the age to worry about work-life balance.

A bit of a false dichotomy. You can have a role at a 4 day work week company that has great working conditions, just as meh working conditions exist at many 5 day work week companies. I would argue that an org who champions a 4 day work week is more attuned to intentional culture and work life balance than traditional orgs.

What age is that? I am in my early twenties and work-life balance is one of the most influential things on my day-to-day mental state. A couple of days in a row of working overtime or having to commute to the office and my mood and productivity both nosedive noticably.
