Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

Both will likely be worse than what you have now.
Maybe less so with the money, depends on agency, etc.
But work from home doesn't really exist at agencies.
Fetch did! Granted, Fetch no longer exists...
I did a lot of agency time in SF. I don’t think anyone enjoyed work-life balance. Remuneration is probably decent at your level.
What I generally tell non-directors I interview is that agencies are good for a lot of exposure quickly—it’s like a boot camp. You work in a way that, frankly, compromises your well being, and you’ll almost never get to do your finest work because who has time to sleep, let alone ideate? But what you do get—and why I can usually spot someone who generally has not done agency time—is exposure to everything, all at once, and gaining the ability to be nimble enough to respond to it all. Very, VERY nimble.
Generally anyone who had been on the agency side would never look back once in a client role (god knows I wouldn’t!) but given what you want, it may offer what you’re looking for, depending on how masochistic you are.
Working for a traditional agency made me yearn for the years I spent as a litigator.
Everyone is swimming the other way.
Lol. Work from home life. Most places don't have a remote policy.
With regard to money, there are mainly two schools of thought: 1.) Throw money at the problem until you hire a miracle worker who can make the problem go away or 2.) Get them as close as possible to working for "exposure bucks."
But let's talk about the real thing here: Why do you want to go agency side?
It sounds like you need to work on changing the scope of your position, but not necessarily going agency side. Who gets to determine budgets, overall messaging strategy, and that sort of stuff where you work? You probably want to see what you can do about taking some responsibilities off their hands.
The money is dope, the work life balance is shit. I have never worked from home.
Good luck
The only reason you should consider going agency side is if you want to do more creative work across more brands. Otherwise everything else is worse. What good is a bit more money if you never have time to enjoy it? That’s assuming you’ll even make more money.
all of this is right, but it’s not even a guarantee you’ll get to do more creative work...
Stay agency side. And bring me with you.
Meant to say “in-house.” D’oh!
I didn’t know in house used titles like Art Director. It’s usually Design Director in house.
Yep we’re a thing
