Collected fat paychecks for a year, went home at 5, was bored to tears. Then got laid off. Now back in an agency, working 60-70 hour weeks. Wondering why I’m doing this
Same exact story except I have zero regrets about going back to agencies
I went in house and regret everything 😭
More politics, hours are the same. Equity halved in value. Work is soul-destroying. Miss agency culture and people. Interviewing again...
@AAD1 it’s as if we work at the same company 🤧. At ours it’s full on WW III... Sending positive vibes for your search! For me, I hope working 100% remotely will make life a bit more bearable. If not, back into the fish pond... pun intended. 
Went in-house, saved a lot, boring work with a long commute. Went back to agency, only small pay cut, but unlimited PTO, downtown office and not that bad of hours at all. I’m digging this.
Where??
Geeze what places did you guys in-house in? Any major brands? You make it sound like a nightmare. I've heard some happier stories on Fish but I guess it depends on where you land.
Going back to freelancing.
