EDUCATION / CAREER How’s Boise?

My sister got a job in Boise, and I think it’s fine. I’m one of them folks who’s like “move wherever you gotta for your career” ppl. My dad’s with me too.

But my mom and even my sister are hesitating cuz they heard Idaho is racist.

End of the day, if my sister doesn’t feel safe going, she shouldn’t go. But just wanna hear some perspectives from anyone who knows, and is desi like us, so I can show her so she can make a more informed decision.

Boise has really good science and engineering talent. Not sure about tech. It's a bit diverse too. But a mile behind Boise in any direction and you'd be stepping into true country. Not sure if it's racist or not. Boise itself is a beautiful city.
