Does in-house mean you work from home?

like

No - most in-house roles are with big companies who are requiring RTO as well. I had to move 4 states away to take my in-house role, sell my house and ended up buying a more expensive one despite moving to a "cheaper" area than NY metro. I am in 3 days a week mandatory. It's worked out for me in other ways, but hoping to WFH and make in-house money is not realistic right now. You will pay a price somewhere. This is another reason why the job market sucks because you probably have to physically move to land a job outside of your home base. Lots of people who moved during COVID to the faraway burbs/cheaper states are finding this out right now...

Congrats! Agencies are about to go through a world of hurt. You got out just in time.

IPG and Omnicom told agency leads they were through the layoffs in June and turns out there will be more as the IPG acquisition closes. Some were told a few weeks ago.

Congrats!!!🎉

Nice! Congrats and hope it’s a nice pay bump!

Congrats!!! 🎊🎈🍾

Congrats, how you do this?

Huge congratulations!!!!🥂

Take me with you!

Congratulations!

Congrats!!

Vent post: Have a mentally ill family member who is not committed to getting the help they need (e.g., through therapy or medication). Been this way for years with no change or end in sight. Has anyone experienced something similar? Were you able to encourage that person to seek professional help? Frustrating situation and can’t figure out how to make it better.
