Stay in advertising. Please, for your own sanity.

No, I’m serious. The design world feels like a nightmare to me. Maybe it’s just been my experience, but I’ve found almost everyone but the designers to be...how to put this nicely...less talented at their jobs than their ad agency-side counterparts.
A few weeks ago someone on here said it feels like watching someone try to cut a piece of wood with a hammer while you try to hand them a saw and they’re yelling “there’s no time for that!” at you. Best description I’ve ever heard.
Advertising pays better, at least for me. My first job was in-house for six years and they grossly underpaid me. I think about going back in-house later in my career, since the hours are better. I do miss having that ultimate control over a brand. It was challenging in different ways.
