Depends on your company/manager. My last manager allowed comp time. Current manager: remains to be seen.

I only got comp time for launches and even then it was only 1 or 2 days after weeks of all nighters and weekends. Most agencies have unlimited PTO nowadays so I think this may be a thing of the past.

I’ve only gotten comp time at one agency only from working crazy launch hours. If you’re a salaried employee you are generally expected to put in the time needed to get the job done

I'm not necessarily unhappy with the firm I'm at, but have started looking into in house opportunities, as I've seen some interesting openings. I understand this will likely come with a pay cut (perhaps in exchange for a better work/life balance....tbd), but does anyone have any thoughts on other considerations/questions I should be thinking about/asking? Thank you in advance!

Ketanji did not come to play! Came out of the gate ready to fight and turn these racist arguments on their heads. The way she was dropping 14th Amendment bombs on that man made me so happy. And this is only her first day. I just hope they protect her well.
