If you want to work at one of those companies, why wait a decade or more before trying?

You can climb a few rungs of that ladder, build a book of varying clients, and go in-house much faster than 10-15 years.

If you have a plan beyond 5+ years, the working landscape shifts fast enough that you shouldn't get too invested in a specific plan. Technologies change and the way we communicate/advertise rapidly adjusts to it.

I'd kill to not have had wasted so much time believing agency culture offsets the grind before settling into a more meaningful creative job on the client side. If you want something, look a few years out, network with those at the companies you want to work for, and figure out what gaps you need to fill to get where you want to be.

@sd1 I agree!

I'm actually an immigrant from Venezuela.

My ultimate dream is to gain a bunch of knowlege, connections, money and maybe even become an influencer in hopes of somehow helping improve my country's horrifying situation. But, I imagine that's more like 15-20 years down the road, and a much wilder/difficult feat to accomplish.

Didn't know if 🐠bowl was ready for that one. haha

Anyone ever do anything remotely like this?

Thoughts? Tips?

@PI&C Cause (at least for now) I'm all about that agency life. I find the mayhem fun and stimulating and love being part of a big team, let alone being able to jump through some massive brands, markets, tone of voices, etc. in a day's work.

I also like my health, so I don't wanna overdo it and just imagine all that ageny experience will translate to making big money and having a slightly (or way) more chill job at one of those in-houses as an ECD than NYC agency.

Thoughts?
