does anyone have any advice for getting out of agency life and doing project management? I'm qualified for project management, I'm just having a hard time finding a company that will let me in the door, maybe it's just the market right now...

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
