How many years of experience should you have to move in-house? I’m at roughly 7/8 and am very ready to leave agency life behind.

I think that’s perfect timing to make a move. My old boss always said 5-8 years was the sweet spot. I did 6 years agency side and wouldn’t have wanted to leave any sooner since learning stalls in-house, but now I’m hiring for senior roles on my in-house team and I want someone with some in-house experience because I need them to be able to deal with internal politics.

Helpful, thank you! That’s my fear, if I stay agency too long, I won’t be qualified for more senior roles in house. So this is very helpful.

From folks I've talked to that seems to be the sweet spot. I feel like anywhere from a Senior Manager-VP level is a good time to go in house to make a move to a good in-house level from what I've noticed from people I work with.

This is validating, thank you.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
