Disagree. Given the horror stories coming out of devs who have quit jobs at EA, and how game devs in the industry are treated in general, I wouldn't wanna touch that job with a ten foot pole. Just saying. It might sound fun and games but working in the game industry is very very stressful and tough and completely over-glorified. People are expected to work for pittance and go through ridiculous crunch hours, and if you refuse to do so you could lose your job and get accused of "not being passionate enough". And when a studio doesn't meet the investors' expectations (which are often unrealistic) EA usually closes the studio down. Game devs really need to unionise, honestly.
I'm not saying crunch flat out doesn't happen at Respawn, but we generally try not to rely on it to ship games. We haven't shied away from stating that before, e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/25/18516424/apex-legends-respawn-avoid-crunch-content-updates-speed-game-industry-overwork
