Thoughts on Golin? Seems like an up and comer with a lot of recent wins behind it, but it’s less well known than Edelman, Weber, etc.

For those of us who've been around a while, there's nothing "less known" about Golin. It is smaller than Edelman and WS, but very well known and, frankly, legendary in the PR world.

Good to know, thanks. I think I was a little unclear in my question - I know it’s still one of the top agencies and big in the industry, but I think it still doesn’t have quite the same broad name recognition as mega-firms like Edelman and WS (which even people outside of PR know).

Kinda snarky answer from VP1 there, but you're right, Golin is starting to make a name outside of PR circles.

They're staffing up creative departments across offices and winning new biz/selling more work. The NY office has momentum and lots of potential. Growing pains are very real and some are stuck in traditional PR mindset, but tides are turning fast.

Yeah, I’m really impressed with the work I’ve seen from them. Seems like they’re quicker to adapt to industry trends and better at integrating creative than a lot of shops.

Had someone reach out to me about a gig there. I'd never heard of the place but it seemed interesting. They ultimately decided to pass on my book, so maybe they're good?

Never heard of Golin till last year. I first heard about Edelman and Weber maybe 5-6 years ago. So, yes Golin is def less known than Edelman and Weber in the advertising industry and to advertising creatives.

What’s the big difference between Ad agency and PR agency? Also how’s salary difference?

I felt so confident in applying. The recruiter called a week later and said the hiring manager was extremely impressed with my resume. The first “interview” (informal meet and greet) went great and I was told I’m definitely moving on to the formal panel interview. I reached out to the recruiter with a happy “just following up” email on Friday afternoon and she said the coordinator should be in touch by Monday at the latest. No email came. Talk me off ledge. Confidence plummeting.

Can someone please refer me to PWC? Dm me for more details. Thanks!

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

Are there any pros to staying at a company and getting laid off, vs. proactively looking for a new job and quitting before it happens? I.e., financial (possibility of receiving severance or any other benefits). Or is being laid off just all bad? I don’t know if my job is at risk — I don’t believe it is — but my agency lost some clients and is talking about cost cutting to be safe and get ahead of it. Fwiw, I’m ready for a change anyway.
