The 75 Best Twitter Accounts to Follow for Your Career

I freely admit it: I’m a Twitter fiend. I really do spend all day, every day on the platform—and I’m OK with that.

Whether you check out every suggestion on the list, skip around a bit, or only follow a handful of these accounts, you’re bound to find something that will make your life a little easier. And, bonus, if you do love all the suggestions, you can follow the Twitter lists included in each section.
