What's a subtle interview red flag people should pay more attention to that most candidates ignore at first?

I'll start:
- The interviewer constantly interrupts or seems distracted the whole time.
- Nobody can clearly explain what the role actually involves day to day.
- They dodge questions about turnover, onboarding, or why the role is open.
- The interview feels weirdly adversarial for no reason.

Anything else that comes to mind?

This is related to the adversarial point - interviewer dismissing and downplaying the candidate’s expertise and experience

Have opportunity to work in my firm’s London satellite office for about a year and a half, and then come back to NY headquarters. In good standing with firm and have M&A and capital markets experience. Did not start traveling abroad until my bar trip (did not grow up with the money for trips like that) and think it would be a good personal and professional experience. Any thoughts / advice?

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
