Anyone have experience switching departments at an agency? How did you go about it? Been in brand management for almost a year now but I've realized I'm more interested in a strategy role.

I would try and start shifting however you can to get ready/prepare for the position before you get started. Maybe talk to your boss and see if that's a possibility, and where you need to fill gaps before making that move (if you do.)

Do you know anyone on that team? I'd start by making a few connections and networking first. Might make it easier to get your foot in the door.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
