Chicago wise... where is the best place to start your career in terms of growth, training, and culture?

FCB? Edelman? Starcom? Ogilvy? Golin?

I appreciate the insight :)

Edelman Chicago is great, especially if you can get on the brand team, which has a fantastic leader and some great senior-level leads from whom you can learn a lot. The issues management team in Chicago is also top-notch.

Golin has a really terrific culture and you’ll have exposure to lots of major brands while not feeling like you’re getting lost in the shuffle of a big agency.

Is Golin currently hiring?

Edelman. Best decision I made in my early years. I started as an SAE. I left Edelman and came back

Thank you for the insight!

Maybe think about smaller or mid-sized agencies with less hierarchy so you can make a bigger impact and do more

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market.

I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.
