Anybody have experience working both with inhouse and offshore departments?

My workplace offshores nearly everything, (design, editing, copywriting, 3D rendering etc.) There's one obvious perk to it which I understand but, there's sometimes where I have to go around in circles with them just to get something right. Curious to know if any of the experiences are similar with companies that do in house?

There are several cons that I can mention about offshoring and I will have to agree with AD1. Different time zones is the biggest disadvantage followed by communication and language barrier. That's why its sometimes inevitable to face issues like that. Don't worry, all of us do feel the same.

We recently switched to offshoring - I think it just means planning better/accounting for timezones but overall we've found it easier and have been able to get a lot of repetitive task off our plate. I think with in house, you don't always have the time to talk or to fix stuff so really it ends up being the same

Just out of curiosity, where do you offshore to if you don't mind me asking.

Has anybody experience in giving up the LPR status after leaving the US for work and residency in another country/homecountry? I come from a low tax country and wonder whether Uncle Sam will send a final tax bill or penalty fee or even make it difficult/impossible for me to abandon the GC once I will leave the US again. This is crucial for me to apply for the GC.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
