What does のも mean in 仕事が忙しすぎるのも考えものだけど、時間が余るのもなぁ?


In the following sentence

> 仕事が忙しすぎるのも考えものだけど、時間が余るのもなぁ

what does のも mean?

Thank you very much.




Put simply, the の after 忙しすぎる and 余る is acting to convert those verbs to
nouns, and the も is acting in the sense of "also" (like in クッキーも食べたい, "I want
to eat a cookie too").

こと(事）can also be used to treat a verb as a noun, but it has a more formal ring
to me.

I haven't seen the word 考えもの used too often, but here is a guess at
translating that sentence.

> I think being too busy isn't ideal, but neither is having too much free
> time.
