👋 I’m in the same position and can verify it sucks. Hating your job and trying to hang on during an extended job hunt (which is extra taxing since that takes up a lot of time within itself) is like running a marathon you didn’t sign up for or train for, and not being sure if there’s an end in sight. Also had the same idea to get away from agencies and also experienced the challenge of trying to move in house. Don’t necessarily have an answer for you other than to be ruthless with your time, protect your energy, and make sure you’re setting aside time for relaxation/fun.
I felt that this year. I told myself I wanted to leave the agency world, but grabbing an in house role was tough so I jumped to another agency. All in all, is your aversion to agency holding you back from leaving sooner? My new gig is a very small 50 person agency that is night and day from the chaos and stress of where I was before.
I've been thinking about buying and close to getting a mortgage but so scared it will lock me down forever to agency world because I feel it'd be impossible after to transition to brand side or a different industry and make a lateral or comparable income.
