My most awesome was my first job. stayed there for 5 years on the same account if that's any indication. i was spoiled though. was the agency's keystone account, limitless budget, best resources and we did every piece of their advertising (guess it's not too hard to guess). nothing can really compare after you have that.

My first agency job was awful. Then I worked for a great company but a crap team, and now I like my agency; my team is much better but have different challenges, that can be worked through.
