I’m curious if anyone has ever turned down a job because the interview process felt chaotic or disrespectful. It seems like a preview of what the culture might be like. Have you ever walked away because of the process?

I am 63 years old and have 30 years of Collections management experience working in banks . I currently have an individual contributor role job making $110,000 per year . Our office is only 5 people. I report to the owner . I've been here 3 years. I recently received a job offer of $110,000 for a Collections Manager for a Debt Collection law firm. They have a 401K plan but no match. My current job is very low stress , casual dress, and a very easy job. Is this new job worth the move ?
