I’m in house and I picked up a “small” project for an agency…. and it’s a good reminder why I went in house 😂

LOL omg story of my life!!!!

Depends on the agency. The hardest thing is just balancing work for multiple clients if you're not dedicated to a single account.

Whats making you want to go back to agency?

Depends how long you’ve been out of the agency world and whether you’re going in at the same level you left or shooting for higher.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
