How many years of agency experience do you think prepare you well to go in-house? I’m at 5 years exp and starting to think that’s my next move within a year, but wondering if it’s too soon.

I’m six years into my career. Five spent in agencies. I’m happy with the move in-house. It’s just enough experience to apply processes and frameworks to the work you do
