> The best way to grow as a fresh grad is to join a medium sized, established business. There you are going to be a part of a team where you will get to learn the ropes of your field (that's something you won't find in ChatGPT or university) and at the same time the pressure won't be so hard.

My experience differs: already at medium sized, established companies there is a lot of corporate bullshit. Also, at small companies, you know the colleagues better, so that the culture is often more "humane". Also, exactly because at a small company you are a "jack of all trades", you by necessity learn a lot more; but be aware that on the other hand you won't specialize so deeply into the topic. So, if you want to deeply specialize in a topic, you better look at a medium or large company (but be aware that there might exist few or no jobs there that allow you to specialize in the topic that you are into).
