IMHO, go in-house. Less stressful and better work-life balance in my experience, but everyone’s different.

All depends on who is appoving your work. Choose the smarter person.

I’m personally ready for a good in-house experience. I see better longevity in that as I get older and better work life balance.

Your decision will come down to whether or not you want to continue doing the agency thing.

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone know about TE-DL Data Platforms Team/Project in KGS. My joining date is 11th April and I will be part of this team.

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way. They push us to turn a document quickly (in this case, an LPA for a new fund), and then take weeks to review, following up with a 50-page chart setting forth the LPA sections and detailed questions/comments. I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience?

Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?
