As a female fresher planning to get in IT (full-stack + data analytics), is it actually better to accept a high-paying startup role with long hours, weak work-life balance, and possible bias, or choose a lower-paying stable company that may limit growth?

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice.
