Grammar help … Who or whom?

In the second part of the following sentance would who or whom be correct? (I have removed the names and companies)

Throughout my career I have been surrounded with people who are masters in this field, from — and — at company1 to — at company 2 and — and — —, company3, who I worked with on my first job out of college.

In the part “who I worked with” who is the subject of the verb, I think, which would make who correct. However, if you restate it as a question “Who did he work with” then he worked with him and whom would be correct. I have never been good with this rule. Help!

Rephrase your sentence…

…company3, with whom I worked on my first job out of college.

who is the subject or nominative case

whom is the object or objective case.

When you place the preposition directly beside the pronoun, it is easier to see the connection.

Ask yourself if the answer when you rephrase it as a question is possibly HIM then use whom, if not use who.

M C
(for) whom I worked

(for checking… try saying TO or FOR in front of whom)
