Just spent some time in Chicago for work and I love it. What is the main type of PR done there (media or other)? How is work culture, meeting people, dating scene? I’m in NY now

Fair number of large, medium and small shops that offer everything from consumer to corporate to pharma/health to tech to media to digital. Work culture is still agency, but better and more family oriented than NYCs hours. That said... the Midwest is also sleepier than NYC so we generally aren’t out and about as late!

As for meeting people/dating scene, depends on what you’re looking for (eg age, M/F, straight/gay).

Curious what other junior associates at PR agencies are making off the bat? I earned my master’s degree last year and accepted a JA role for $36K.
