I have an interview tomorrow with an ECD at an agency that is showing some red flags. But I’m at an agency now that is just one giant red flag and is driving me crazy. Do I take the jump to the other agency (if they offer me the job) or stick it out at my current job and hope something with no red flags comes along?

I would hold out until you find an agency that has no red flags if you can. It really depends on how desperate you are. Do you know anyone at the agency you are interviewing with? Maybe you can ask them

It depends what the red flags are. Everywhere has issues, so are the red flags at the new place less bad (or at least different bad?) than what you have now? If they’re the same issues then it’s really not worth moving, as you’ll be in the same place again in a few months or less. If the new place has smaller issues than you already see then maybe it is?
