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.

I'm trying to get into a SaaS or tech company for MOps/RevOps/SOps, but I think I'm having trouble getting interviews because I'm coming from a 7-year career in the public sector (fundraising).

The work I do is very similar and I feel my resume reflects that, the main difference is my tech stack. I've started certifications for tools like Hubspot, Marketo, and Salesforce - and am wrapping up an MBA - wondering if anyone has any other advice on how to score an interview? TIA!
