One client, same thing every single day. No chance for diversity of industry or clients.

To me going client side is about work-life balance. You accept that your day will be pretty much 9-5 and you have enough experience where it doesn’t matter.

If you are junior I wouldn’t recommend it. Agencies afford you many of the tools, clients and talent to learn.

It’s okay. Like SVP1 mentioned—kind of monotonous at times, but there are times/opportunities to break out from the standard on-brand work.

What about culture - anything you miss on the agency side?

Any other hiring managers feeling like all of your candidates are asking for more money last minute just to see how far they can go?

It’s hard for me to stay excited about wanting to work with someone when they do that. What a waste of everyone’s time.
