Many places, all of the time. Most agencies are not set up for employees, and they rarely practice what they preach. They will discard you without a second thought, so treat them accordingly. That goes for so-called independent agencies as well as holding company agencies.

After a year+ of just being grateful to have a job, people are fed up and ready to work somewhere that actually values them, pays them, and respects them. Post pandemic boom of employees leaving is just starting, I expect more to come once people have to go back in Summer/Fall.

Yes, and the reality of what an unfulfilling grind our industry can be is hitting hard with all of the return to the office messaging as well. I’d expect lots of turnover to other industries and people leaving agency life. It’s unsustainable and agencies have only continued to prove that people are expendable commodities.

Because they’re realizing the industry/majority of these companies have no respect for them.

Every team I’ve freelanced with lately doesn’t have a single creative under senior level, and they can’t keep a freelancer longer than a month.

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.

Has anyone had a good experience in your career progressing from larger agencies to having senior roles at smaller agencies? I've worked at large NYC and LA creative shops, and now many years into my career, I've had more opportunities at smaller/regional agencies. At first, they welcome your experience with bigger clients and campaigns, but soon enough they want you to align with "how we do things around here" and "we know better" even if their approach has not been particularly successful.
