Who has moved from agency to in‑house? It might be my next step, and I wanted to hear about how different the pace and politics feel. Is the tradeoff in creative freedom worth the better hours and stability everyone talks about?

I've gone back and forth in my long career. And there were definitely periods when I appreciated the better hours (was able to spend more time on my community theatre hobby). But if you're there 5+ years and the company's not evolving, it can get monotonous and you'll itch for new challenges.

Also, it depends on the company. Some require more selling in and up, others are more flat when it comes to decision-making. For me, it’s an easy trade-off. I channel my creativity into hobbies and my life outside the office now that work doesn’t monopolize 200% of my brain and energy.

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
