Just got a competitive job offer... time to quit my startup?

I'm 22 and finished undergrad in June. Was working on a product since last Fall, won the university startup competition, incorporated in the summer after graduation and got to working on it. Haven't raised a seed round or anything, just about $30k in winnings from the university to develop the product. We're in the middle of pitching to angels right now.

I just got offered $140k plus stock to work at another startup that is in hyper growth. It's remote work and more money than I ever expected to see, especially with what I majored in during college.

I'm probably going to accept the job, so do I keep working on my startup in my "spare" time? What do I tell my advisors? Is it better to just cleanly end my company now or keep at it while working 50+ hour weeks at this other startup?

I'm young and don't know shit so literally any advice would be good.

Edit: appreciate all the help and varied perspectives. My student loans start growing interest in 2 months so im taking the job.
