Do you mean you are going in house? If so, this is really common in my experience! Most large corporations require 3-5 years of experience for their most “entry” level roles. More pay, more visibility is always good for career growth. Also, ask yourself if this role will give you more visibility and help put you on a path that you want for your future. Think about what kind of projects you will work on, who you will work with, what you will learn. That translates on resumes and recruiters get it.
The longer you can stick it out in agency life, the more valuable you’ll be long-term. There’s a reason why in-house shops want to hire agency people but agency people often require agency backgrounds.
I’ve been at four agencies. The jumps between each went: $50k, $75k, $115k, $150k. Every time I’ve thought about going in-house, I’ve feared getting locked in to one industry or another. And every time I’ve jumped from one agency to another, it’s paid off well and preserved my ability to continue being attractive to other agencies.
