I went in-house after a long career at agencies. After 1.5 years at my new job, I have received 2 raises, the most recent is going to be 6% in Jan, and tons of comp time for the extra effort I put into my work. I rarely work late and don't work weekends. I can say 'no' if I am too busy, without penalty. Best decision ever.

P1, I found my job on LinkedIn or Indeed (can't remember). In house job listings are posted in the same forums as agency jobs.

How does salary compare? I’ve heard from friends who went in house that they had to sacrifice salary for WLB. True?

I can only speak to my situation, I am making above the ad industry standard for my position.

I went in-house 2 1/2 years ago. While I rarely work past 5pm or on weekends, I also play print producer, digital producer and traffic coordinator. My most recent raise was 3% and, based on my previous experience and current responsibilities, I’m still being underpaid by about $20-$30K. Oh yeah and I’m bored af.

I don’t regret it at all. I just wish it paid better and was a little more challenging.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
