Interviewed lastweek and something felt off. They kept joking about how “nothing ever goes as planned” and how late client requests are just part of the job. The salary is about $9k higher than what I make now, but I can’t tell if I’d just be signing up for constant fire drills. Would you read into comments like that or am I overthinking it?

How much do you need that extra $9k? The grass isn't always greener, and there is a lot to be said for stability in the current job market. It would be enough of a red flag to me that I would seriously consider passing on it.

You could ask them in the next interview to clarify what they meant by that. What’s the agency?
