Opinions on going from agency to in-house? 1.5 years into my first job and might have a good opportunity. I am open to just working in-house but have no experience. I heard its better pay and benefits

I’d do least 2 years at your first job, and accumulate at least 3 years in the agency world getting well-rounded experience across different clients and industries, collaborating with the full set of roles available to you at an agency.

Making the jump at 1.5 years to an in-house job is narrowing focus way too soon IMO.

Best move you can make. I’m jealous

If there is an opportunity now, go now. You have no idea if I’m .5 - 1.5 years that the opportunity will come around again

good work is good work — any cd worth their paycheck knows this and will be able to tell if you ever want to go back to the agency realm.

don’t let people scare you out of a potentially good opportunity just because it’s “in-house”.
just be sure to do some extensive research and really think about whether the work you will be producing there will be good for your portfolio/self in the long run.

best of luck!

Got two offers that I’m thinking through:
Context: 2 YOE, San Francisco
1. Consulting - 150k, fully remote, stagnant growth but easy to make a ton of money and get promoted, would probably move to MCOL if I take this role
2. Big Tech - 165k, in office role and opportunity to learn a lot and grow, great team and benefits

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
