Those places work you crazy hours. It is great for first time experience but if stress is a concern I would not seek them out.

I use to have that same job working with MySQL/Postgresql databases in a Linux environment. Ended up quiting after a while and switched to web development. If some CSS looks funny any IE instead of Firefox it isn't a big deal and far less stress.
