Am I missing any red flags?

Ask any other questions?

I’ve looked into the recruiting company and it seems legit, hundreds of reviews of a wide range of platforms, recruiter has a LinkedIn in, etc. It is on contract, remote and no other benefits from what I can see. Seems very busy too, which I don’t mind since I’ll be doing what I studied for in school. I’ve been thinking of leaving my current job anyways since I get paid garbage, a bunch of workload outside of my actual position and get offered no benefits besides free office coffee lol HELP ME!
