I start my new in-house job tomorrow. Any advice?

I have 6 YOE and have only ever worked at agencies. Working for a brand and being responsible for metrics and results is kinda daunting.

Plus the new job people seem so much cooler. Uff how will I ever fit in

The pace will feel different. Try not to compare processes. Take time to understand how they work and why. Your agency experience will be an asset, just don’t lead with it. Push the work where it really matters, and avoid being the person who wants to change everything in the first few weeks.

Not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask for portfolio feedback but I am a mid-level freelance graphic designer, 26y/o who has been working independently for the past 3 years. I’m interested in leveling up, either to a senior design role or art director role at a design agency and looking for feedback on my current website before reaching out. Can I post my portfolio here or DM some folks my link if possible? Thank you so much
