A1 - they were asked what country and they chose to answer Kurdistan. Thatā€™s a political statement, not the answer to the question. You donā€™t seem to understand the issue.

If someone says ā€œall lives matterā€, it sounds like an innocent answer to a person who doesnā€™t know the context. It is a clear political statement that offends many people who understand the context though. Does that analogy help? ā€œI am from Kurdistanā€ is a political statement that is offensive to many people from the sovereign countries where ā€œKurdistanā€ is spread across.

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits.

Iā€™ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. Iā€™d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?
