Just recieved a offer from Western Alliance Bank for a Senior Business Analyst role. Comp 100k but the role would be in office. I currently work remote,have unlimited PTO,and a really healthy work life balance but am being underpaid tremendously. The new role seems like it does not have healthy work life balance and many red flags have already come up. I want to grow my skills and wouldn't mind being in office as I do miss being around people. How do I vet the role before accepting?

I think it depends on the level. In some companies, there are a lot of diversity at junior level but not senior level, so if you join at junior level, you life won't be much different, while we can expect significant glass ceiling there for you if you join at a relatively senior level wanting to make more progress. In some companies, there's simply just no diversity at any level, which can be two reasons - 1. the company is small/young, it's understandable and not too worrying 2. the company has been ignorant or even toxic. Lastly, if you are hired as a leader to promote diversity and inclusiveness, this would be a special case. Just pay more attention to whether the company genuinely want you to make changes, or just want someone titled "I&D" for reputation.
If everyone operated on this logic, no group would ever become diverse.
The leadership of today reflects the diversity policies of 20-30 years ago. They could be doing better now even if the leadership melanin count doesn’t reflect that yet. Change isn’t overnight, so it may take time. Perhaps you could be that future leader?
Boils down to how much effort you want to make creating the change you want to see at this new company. I was at a firm once where diversity was a real problem - not only in numbers, but just complete disregard for D+I. Realized that it wasn’t the type of place I wanted to invest my time. And that it wasn’t my job as one of the few minorities to create that change - that white allies needed to support and help drive change too.
No. As long as they pay $$$. You can always leave afterwards.

Diversity is more than a skin color or look. How do you know they aren’t diverse in their experiences? At a certain point we also need to acknowledge and combat our own unconscious biases as well if both sides want to meet in the middle. Them offering you the job sounds like they are doing their part.
🤦🏻♀️ 1) if a company has 100+ employees or are a federal contractor with 50+ employees, they are required to comply with EEOC standards. That means submitting documentation that they are complying with the hiring practices that show that they make a best faith effort to hire and source for diverse candidates. So it’s not uncommon for companies to hire token diverse candidates that are qualified, but if there is no true commitment to diversity - it’s still shown that people who are deemed as not belonging to the core group (that has power), their opportunities for advancement/growth is limited. So their turnover rates are high (ie people leave) or they don’t get promoted. I’ve worked in corporations that do this. I know how it’s done, and have seen first hand the nepotism, xenophobia and subversive racism that occurs. It’s why I ended up leaving .
2) the fact is that individuals make up an organization and culture. The people are indicative of the culture, processes and structures that are in place and can give you an idea of the values that are present. If they don’t have the systems in place to address diversity by ensuring all people are provided with coaching, mentor ship, skills development, & career planning to progress, AND not just Brad, the frat bro of XYZ VP, or Eric, the son of ABC Director, hiring a diverse candidate is just tokenism.
I joined a smaller firm and built their first AA ERG group. So yes, go for it and educate your colleagues!
Be the change, esp. if you're hapa

I wouldn't put much weight on diversity as a single metric
