Does anyone else feel like it’s much harder finding an in-house gig vs an agency gig?

I’ve been trying to leave advertising for a couple years to work a more balanced life in house but I feel like it’s been much more difficult getting any attention. While I get emails from recruiters at agencies for gigs every few months. Do in-house places respond less to ad agency type work?

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.

Wtf do I do

Who are the good international recruiters?

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

The industry is crumbling under our feet and I still can’t decide if I want to go in-house or not. I’m afraid it won’t be as exciting and I won’t travel as much. But also, I need a job. So 🤦‍♂️

Did you ever lose all hope in finding happiness in this career but then did something pivotal that helped you achieve it?

What did you do?

I’m spent.

What do you do when there’s absolutely nothing going on at work? The projects I’m working on are all in production, and I’ve raised my hand several times about taking on new work, but there’s nothing right now. Don’t get me wrong, the down-time is nice…but I’m hungry to make stuff.

What are the advantages/disadvantages to being partnered with someone more senior? I’m mid-level, busting my ass to go senior. My partner is senior, busting their ass to get to ACD. (Cont’d)

AKQA NY thoughts?

If you were offered a job at a great agency but working on just one brand, but it was a big one like Nike or McDonalds, would you do it? Being siloed sucks, but maybe worth it for a big account?
