I lived in NY and Bay Area before returning to NY. It's an interesting thing you brought up that I didn't really think about 🤔.

I do feel less discriminated and just seeing more Asians at work (FAANG) was much better for my mental health. There's more cammaderie too than Asians at work in NY but also way less of us here.

That said, my current job in NY has more women, my big boss is Black, and it's been better than my other experiences in NY.

I have other Asian male friends in advertising who work with women leadership and they feel it's very different too. So that might be something to consider.
