Early on, go to high growth

It depends on where you are in your career. If you are early (say, less than ten years of real experience) then picking the faster moving and more interesting position would be a risk worth taking. If your emotional energy needs to be put elsewhere (say, towards your family), the slower more predictable job might be best.
The money will come to if you are good at what you do - and like what you do. That last bit is what will ultimately drive your success and is often missed.

Good point -- not sure about bonuses, but I start becoming eligible for equity after the first year for the second job but don't get anything in the first year.
Growth yields more opportunities in the medium and long run and hopefully opportunity for equity which is what you need if you want to build wealth. There’s a reason why slower growth companies pay more salary and typically higher cash comp. it’s to attract talent to less attractive career prospects.
