Is this a red flag?

I interviewed with a large MM bank and received a lateral analyst offer after just one ~30 minute interview with 3 members of the team (2 directors and 1 VP). For context, I do have around 1.5 years of solid, relevant experience at pretty reputable firms and this MM bank isn't exactly top-tier (or anywhere close) by any means. 

Given how "easy" it was to get this offer, is that a red flag? Should I decline the offer based on "how easy it was to get the offer"?

Thanks in advance!

If you don't like it you can pass the offer to me, I'd be happy to join after one interview lol

On a serious note, try talking to current/former team members to get info on culture etc. 

 

Hey, thanks for your comment. Would you mind elaborating on why those jobs were a disaster specifically and also also what type of firms were they (don’t need specific names or anything, just general description is fine (e.g., large bank, small boutique, etc)?

Thanks in advance! Hope things ultimately worked out for the better for you.
