Help - have a really great exit opportunity (good team, exciting role, etc.), but got weird vibes from the hiring manager during the interview process. He seemed somewhat condescending and just overall not very nice. It’s a small ~20 person start up and he’d be my direct manager so I’d be working with him closely. Reason to not take the job?

Ask to spend a day with him and the team before signing. If you still get bad vibes, don't take it.

Avoid. In a 20 person firm, you can't switch teams. You'd be looking for another job in a year, with a no name firm on your resume instead of McKinsey.

Maybe shadowing for a day could work. Worth a shot.

Ask to talk to people your level on the team. And have an additional call with him and discuss his management style.

Can you talk to someone he’s worked with before? Like a DD? Any reviews online? People matter in a small company a lot. You 100% cannot ignore this and need to vet it.

Trust your gut. I had a similar experience, where the hiring manager gave me weird vives, but it was a "dream job", so I took the offer. The guy was such a horrible person, I walked out after 2 weeks.
