Any advice on how to move from agency to in-house? Feel like it’s so competitive and hard to even get an interview.. how do I accomplish that first step and then stand out once I do?

While it can be hard, I've encountered hiring managers who came from the agency side themselves and appreciate the skills that come from it. It's a tough market right now and your best bet for getting a foot in the door is going to be knowing someone within the company you're applying to and making sure your experience closely matches the role they're hiring for. Highlighting companies you've worked for agency side that are in the same industry as the one you're applying to is also very important.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
