How do you transition from intern to Full time? I’ve been getting a few offers from other agencies, but I really like the one I’m at. They seem to be dragging their feet on making a decision on hiring

Honestly, I would take the best offer you have from the other places. You can always go back to the agency you are at now after getting outside experiences (which can make you more valuable in the future). I’ve seen a lot of interns hold out hope before and never get hired. Then being behind the rest of their peers in finding a job. There may be things going on behind the scenes that you are unaware of.

Tell the place you’re working you have an offer and you would like to stay but need to know by x date (a few days away). If they can’t or don’t hire you after that, that’s not a place you want to stay and you should take the offer.

Make sure you offer in writing 1st.

To your question, you're ready to make the transition. You have offers on the table. As for your current agency, don't wait on them. Follow Producer 1's advice so you have a chance to stay but know that a good offer may never materialize. And then you're stuck.

You can wait but, assuming they like you, they still need to have a role that finance will approve; it’s not enough that they just think you’re good. And right now, with all the economic uncertainty, that’s a crapshoot.

So, unless it’s a great agency that will open a ton of doors, I’d follow the suggestion above and politely give them the opportunity to hire you. But if they can’t, take the actual job that someone is offering. After all, the first one is always the hardest to get. And in a year or two when it’s time to change jobs for more money, you’ll be able to reach out to them as the intern that was good and who knows people there and has some experience too.

That was very well put... thanks!
