Are there any good agencies over in Santa Barbara? Trying to help a friend get an internship while attending school out there

Is your friend going to UCSB, the best school in the world?

There are a few smaller options in Santa Barbara and a small tech/startup scene as well

going to UCSB. Which of the smaller options would you recommend?

I’m not familiar with them personally, but I’ve seen some mentioned over the years. I just know there are some options for marketing, even if there aren’t a lot of traditional ad agencies. I suggest your friend search google and local job sites.

There’s also loads of internships available on campus, some of which may be relevant.

There is also driving down to LA as an option

Do internships count towards years of experience? I held my first design internship in 12th grade (2016), and have since held at least one internship per semester throughout college, all related to my career path - but they were all part time. In my last semester of college (May 2020 grad), I worked as a full time contractor for 18mos. I freelanced after, before working as an FTE the past year.

When asked how many years of experience I have, how should I answer?

Thanks in advance!

Looking for tips. College was not for me while I was young. Since then I have built a great track record at my previous job in sales, succeeded in a project manager internship, and have exceeded at the role for a year now. Unfortunately, I do not like the direction the company is headed in and want to move on. I have gazed at new companies but the lack of “education” seems to be a reoccurring obstacle. Being in the bay area competition for these roles can be a bit tough. Any tips or tricks?

What else should I be doing?
