- remyp 10y agoGoogle has a significant presence, though my understanding is it's mostly sales. Chicago has a well-diversified economy, so it's not dominated by any one industry or company. There are a ton of bigcorp jobs, but they're more likely to be for companies like Hyatt, Walgreens, McDonalds, United, Allstate, etc. Legal and finance (particularly quantitative & algorithmic trading) are big as well.

- ansible 10y agoThe Chicagoland area used to be a telecom powerhouse with plenty of software jobs in the area. This was 15 years ago. We had: Motorola (before all the splits), Lucent, Westel, Telabs, USR, 3Com and more I'm probably forgetting.
