How easily do project managers/DPMs make the switch from agency to in-house? Are there comparable roles? I’ve been told it’s often hard making the switch given that brand managers on client side often handle similar responsibilities of PMs agency side. If the current day to day is primarily around budget / resource management, workflow and process development, financial oversight of actual and planned revenue, would a comparable role in house be more based on operations? Would love thoughts!
