I'm interviewing with a smaller tech company, and they are being very evasive about things like comp and benefits. Think it's a red flag?

Could be, but they're inexperienced - more likely they have no idea what they're doing.

It depends. I've just been hired at a late tech firm who told me the comp before I even started the interview process bc they didn't want to waste their time in case I was money motivated and they didn't have enough budget. Your company might be a) looking for a person who cares more about the work than the salary, or b) they don't have a specific budget and are free to find a person they want and pay what that person costs. I'd guess b), so just go with it and see.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
