Anyone else seriously considering starting their own agency? There are so many inefficiencies in large holding companies and we get so few of the benefits.

I’m investing the next two years to research and develop the evolution of the traditional agency model. We’re on the cusp of an entire industry getting upended. Just need to figure out how to take the past ten years of my traditionally-based experience and develop it into something that clients will value for the next ten years and beyond

Yes, GAD! Clients are paying for our inefficiency and there is money to be made if we can slim down. Agencies have a weird way of shielding the creative work and unveiling it with a curtain, when in reality the best work I've sold was when the client felt invested from the beginning.

Yup... we talk about wanting to be partners with clients but then close the veil like you mentioned. Granted some clients do need more managing then others. But I think fundamentally the “product” of what clients are paying for in traditional agencies need to evolve

Just hit $100k NW today and it’s pretty exciting for me. I was at -$50k (student loans) before graduation in May 2019.
No crazy luck in crypto or investments. Just basic saving, 401k, ESPP and low expenses. Next step is to start investing by myself and taking some risks!!!

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
