I’m interested in moving client side, but I’m not sure how to begin networking in the companies I want to be at, or if I’m senior enough to make a good leap. Any advice from people who have moved from agency to brand?

Following. Also - anyone who made the transition, hows the work-life balance? I see company reviews that say work-life balance can be tough, but my gut says after agency life it can’t be THAT bad.

Hi Guys!
I am a Senior SF Admin with 9 years of SF experience. Mostly I look after a team consisting of Admins and do all usual Admin stuff plus BA/Consultant work.

Though I don't mind being in support vertical but I am worried that I might drift away from SFDC Domain and get involved more in the Support process and eventually take my career away from Salesforce.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
