In other words, it's an a$$ kicker.

What aircraft did you move to? When you say that it will wear you out, or you referring to multiple legs a day, used for short hops, or no automation?

Yes, I've heard they don't break very often despite the vigorous flying schedule. If you gotta work a lot, like at Netjets, you might as well be comfortable....
While the Global and CL350 fleets are growing, what's the status of the Gulfstream fleet? Gradually heading out the door? How much longer before they fully depart? Are the G-Whiz pilots basically leaving for the Globals?

The separate GV fleet is down to 6 550s and 14 450s and the classic Vs are all gone. Conventional wisdom is absolute last G Wiz out the door in 2023. I now believe it will be sooner.
Very few of the remaining G pilots can hold the Global. Most will end up in the POS CL-605 or the CL-350 and a fair number will probably hold no higher than the Latitude.
