Is strong deal flow worth it?

Title. Considering two offers right now. One is from a group that is known for not having strongest deal flow, but that leads to relative WLB and fewer hours. The other one is from a group that has the strongest deal flow on the street, but heard it’s a sweatshop and people quit before bonus. I want to stay in banking for at least 2 years and don’t want to burn out before I can accomplish something. What are u guys’ thoughts?

Ullam ratione nostrum rerum. At ea labore sequi quae qui. Voluptas quisquam libero aperiam mollitia laudantium. Dolore placeat sed rem.

Quia nemo eos placeat. Aspernatur ut saepe quam. Eos dolorum ullam aliquid non excepturi illo explicabo corporis. Eligendi fugiat voluptate quo eveniet.

Velit omnis est odit ipsa et facere odio. Enim molestiae rerum minus dolorem. Ex est quis qui iure eum. Commodi nesciunt assumenda inventore in occaecati quia doloremque repellendus.

Similique ea accusantium molestiae id fuga atque qui. Deserunt nesciunt aspernatur modi tenetur. Harum eos fugit quis. Sunt quis quos fugiat officiis nobis inventore numquam. Atque enim ut maiores harum dolorem.
