Is it difficult to move back to agency side if you go in-house?

I feel like agencies tend to prioritize agency experience over any other experience. Wondering if going in house would hurt me down the road if I wanted to move back to the agency world.

I second what Leo Burnett said. You become a way more prepared to face clients and understand their language and their needs.

My guess is it all comes down to how you sell the experience. In-house seems invaluable to me in terms of: understanding clients and the hierarchy of a biz/brand, performance/metric based work, etc. So, jumping back, you’re bringing a ton of benefit to the agency (granted you can hack it creatively).

CIPD vs. SHRM?

People who are happy that the office is dead should reconsider. If the office is dead wouldn't that mean more outsourcing and less TC forward? Isn't it short sighted to think jobs will stay in the US if they are remote considering how expensive it is to hire here?
