Although we’ve been focusing heavily on the US in our search, we’re also still interested in country suggestions
Any strong reason for preferring US locations? For example, Singapore has many advantages like having a broadly competent government/bureaucracy, local politics different enough from typical AngloAmerican issues that staff will be disinclined to wade in, lots of smart and mathematically competent people from local universities, English native language, a thriving expat community, tropical weather, etc.
(Btw the text editor is very annoying for quotes).
I think Singapore is very high on my “city to do finance in” list and not very high on my “naturey place to do thinking in” list, and as pointed out the LGBTQ acceptance is probably low enough to dissuade some people from going there.

In the comment above you used line-breaks instead of paragraph breaks (probably by pressing shift-enter). This makes everything one big paragraph, and makes formatting paragraph level be quite janky. It also messes up the spacing (since paragraph breaks are a bit smaller than a full empty line). That’s probably what caused the pain. I fixed your comment, but seemed useful to leave a note for posterity.

Singapore seems too socially conservative, though.

(I was unimpressed by S’Pore’s handling of covid, but it was still so much better than the US that it’s not really comparable).
