Listen to your gut
I mean do you have another offer in queue? If not i would suggest you still accept and see for yourself while maybe still interview on the side.
The way the job market is i wouldn't refuse offer if u don't have anything else lined up..
Follow your gut, but if you're not currently working, take the offer and keep looking while you get paid.
As someone who was in your position and brushed off the yellow flags because the comp offer was a lot better, I wish I had followed my gut. My new team turned out to be horrifyingly toxic and I was (happily with new perspective) back at my old job within a matter of months. It doesn’t hurt at all to explore, just follow your gut though as the above poster mentioned.
Definitely follow your gut
Yes, it recently happened to me. The job market is awful however I recommend listening to your gut.
I'm a huge believer in your intuition. I think if something is telling you that something is not right, you should listen. The one time I ignored my gut feeling with a job, it ended up being a horrible, borderline abusive situation and I ended up having to find another job anyway.
I took a job where the interview felt off, but I chalked it up to nerves on both sides. The role was exciting, so I pushed past the weirdness. On day one, I walked into chaos! No desk set up, no onboarding plan, and the person training me kept saying, “Yeah, we’re still figuring that out.” It wasn’t just a bad first day, it was a sign of how things were run. I ended up quietly job-hunting after the second week. I don’t regret trying, but I do wish I’d asked harder questions or waited for something better at the time.
I’ve done it before and wish I followed my gut.
