The myth that all startups make their employees work 7 12 hour days every week, pay them way under market rate, and that there's no flexibility for time off or travel is pretty silly. Do you work extra hard at startups? Of course. But in my experience startups are more flexible in terms of working remotely while traveling and freedom in letting people work on parts of the business they are interested in. And maybe I'm the exception, but I've been able to take a lot of weekends off - it helps me be more productive during the week.
