    Yes, one should trust your gut. But I've taken 2 roles in 2 different companies back when the market tanked in '08 and '09 and gut said no, but bills said yes. I don't regret it, I just regret the choices that were in front of me. Got me to better places honestly.

    Not at all. I do alot of research on the company with Glassdoor. Talk to current employees and study comments on the company on a few platforms

    I should have. I made the mistake to push on and try very hard, and ended up in a miserable situation with a very corrupt management. ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT

    oh man it is so hard to jump into a new role when you don't know the company culture first hand. trust your gut. listen well, listen for the hidden meaning, ask clarifying questions ("we are looking for a self-starter" "what does that mean practically for this team?"
