Decent Offer to Leave my MF for?

I have spent 2 years in IB now at a 2nd year in my MF PE gig and I am so miserable and depressed holy shit. I feel like I still have some "gas" in the tank, and can still push it and keep recruiting, but I have a pretty solid offer now I may take. Its a startup and I was quoted hours should be ~55-60 a week for an all in of $280k-$320k. 

I haven't been in the market or sniffed around at all. I feel like most corporate development / strategy gigs are paying $150k-$180k all in? Is this offer an anomaly?
