Not at all. It’s a question to evaluate your expectations and reality. You not answering and thinking it is a trick question leads me to believe that you may not have reasonable expectations or don’t even know what you mean by “welcoming”.

There’s a ton of 1st Gen immigrants here - you’ll find your people. 1st Gen immigrants have always had to find each other in every city

There is a huge diaspora of Ethiopian and Somali immigrants!! I know a lot of first gen

I came here 30 years ago as a child, and the vibe in Seattle/Washington has been the same.... You, being older, might have different expectations/experience.

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
