Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?

I’d say first off. Don’t sweat it if you screw it up. It’s just as valuable knowing where you don’t want to work. But in general, this app is a good (albeit jaded) resource on agencies as well as glassdoor. See if that company aligns with your values and ask to meet with employees in your interview process.

Umm...I don't know. I'm still working on figuring it out tbh. I've learned to ask more questions about culture, working days, and the kind of work they aim to get. I don't think there's any other way to discern it but really I just try to ask questions like "are your people normal yes/no"

Right.. asking right questions to people working inside the organization should help. Will do that.

Thank you for answering :)

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
