Currently working an in-house job for the first time. I like the pace of in-house so far but feel I cannot reach my full potential nor "climb the ladder" in this role. Additionally, the pay does not match my skillset. I'm considering applying for another work position I appreciate the flexibility and increased pay that this role would offer, but I'm concerned about the long hours and demanding timelines. Has anyone else been back and forth between in-house and agency? and which did you prefer?

It’s a complex question. It all depends on what you really want. I worked in-house for a short time, and yes, the pace was good but the work was incredibly dry and soul sucking. I work now again in an agency (it’s the only world I really know) and it’s so stressful and the hours so long that I feel I need to go in-house again. Maybe looking for the right kind of in-house is the key.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear.

If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
