Hi guys. I resigned from my previous job early last month after a year and decided to just rest for a month before resuming work. Recently, I got an offer which pays decently for someone with my experience but I'm not too keen on it. Why?

1. Offer is barely an increase from my old pay (only around 2.5% increase).
2. Location is quite far from my parent's place and a bit far from my old rental place (itll take around 2.5 hrs from my parents place, 1.5 from my rental place).
3. Small-ish company. My team will be around 3 people max. I'm not a people person but based on my previous (2nd job) company, small teams aren't much fun and can be rather rigid in a way? My potential boss (a guy) seems a bit...strange? I'm not sure how to describe him but I find him suspicious for some reason.

However, it is the only offer I have currently (with 1 potential interview w another company, but that's all) and I don't want to be unemployed for too long involuntarily. Do you guys think it's better to risk it for something better or just take what I can? How much trouble would I be in if I accepted the offer then tried to retract my acceptance?

For context, I'm in the accounting field and currently really only have around 1 year experience in finance/accounting.
