I think they'll literally double my salary (I'm dead serious), but I don't know if my mental health can handle 50-60 hours a week. And this is coming from someone who is young, single, and has no kids.
At the same time, I know this company would look incredible on my resume. It's just a tough decision. Do I take the offer and leave after 2 years, or do I reject it and keep my old job?

All I can say is don’t let money drive your decision. I did that last year when they asked me to teach math. I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it but I wanted the higher salary. I failed spectacularly because of the stress. Two breakdowns six months apart which ended up with me being fired.
You can always try it but don’t let your mental health suffer.
