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?
