25 yr old been working at mid size agency for 2 years. Great culture but haven’t gotten much made and mybook is suffering. Is now the time to go to a big agency? Do I wait it out in a place I like?

2 years without book work is rough, especially when you’re new-ish in your career and trying to build a portfolio. Would definitely be looking.

Not sure “big agency” automatically increases your volume of work. Would almost suggest going the opposite direction and working at a small but quality agency where you’ll have more responsibility. But it’s hard to say without knowing more specifics.

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account).

All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.
