When I started dreading going to work every day. The agency was chaotic and most of my accounts were miserable to work with. I knew I needed a change and started applying to every relevant in-house role I could find. I was out of there within 3 months of starting my search. That was two years ago, though. I don't know how easy it'd be to do now that the job market appears to be awful.
Coach
I'm glad you were able to get out in a decent amount of time from the start of your search. Its rough out here right now.
Both of those reasons sound like valid reasons to make the change. I never liked working at an agency and only did so because it was the only work I could find fresh out of uni. I made the change as soon as my resume was appealing enough to a company.
Coach
At what point did you think your agency was appealing enough for in-house?
Yeah I always considered agency life to be a good starting place, like during my 20s, but I happily moved on when I was in my 30s and starting to want more stability/better WLB. My sign was just wanting a less glamorous, more secure job because I was looking to buy a house with my fiance.
Coach
I just want a house with a yard for my doggo. Time to go in-house.
I felt the shift when the excitement stopped outweighing the stress. Agency life gave me tons of skills, but in-house let me slow down and align with one mission. I actually made more money on the agency because I got paid by project, so I did a lot of extra projects.. but the stress wasn't worth the money.
Coach
Interesting you made more agency side. I always hear the opposite. But I'm glad you've found the pay cut to leave was still worth it. Money isn't everything.
