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 Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.

Hi, I have a couple of possible opportunities moving forward in my career. Currently I am an administrative coordinator at a university handling a specific area with a helping hand in multiple others.

The other pending slight possibility is a assistant property management. I would appreciate feedback on the different career paths
