Do any agencies have a good reputation, good work, and good work life balance? Every time there’s a post to ask opinions, every agency gets shit on and as I look for a new gig, having a hard time discerning what would be the right move.

Smaller independents often have more of a pulse on these things. Not always but they have autonomy from a holding company to make decisions outside of a machine.

The trade off is recognition (vs reputation) I guess?

They may be more chaotic though if they’re lean/short staffed which means you might be stretched thin.

I have decent work-life balance, but it totally depends on the account, the team, and your department leadership. The work is subjective.

For how long do we think federal student loans will be paused? The expectation is through the end of the year but that seems arbitrary.
