When I was in house I had many internal clients and a small team. You definitely have clients on the client side: cmos, marketers, legal, executives, compliance, etc. your client skills will help!

Without a doubt, yes

Did both, love the pace and learning and creative freedom at an agency. Miss having the final say and seeing things through. But for work life, in house 100%

Depends on your style.. I like agency better because I like having several projects and changing a lot.

Depends on the house. Depends on the agency!

Everyone seems to say yes. And being the agency side of the equation and seeing the life some of my clients live while I'm stuck doing all the work for half the pay I tend to agree.

Even in the Christian world, we can learn from secular teachers and scholars who have familiarized themselves with Biblical principles, even if they do not realize it. Who are some of these that you follow? Do you follow them often or sporadically? Currently I'm listening to the Jordan Peterson podcasts....www.jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/. Lots of great information from this psychologist who eventually found Christ. He has several audio books out as well. Worth your time to listen IMO...
