Why does it feel so risky to leave agency life even when you are burned out? I have been at my agency for 6 years and make 110K with constant client churn and late nights. In house roles look calmer but cap closer to 120K. How do you decide if the tradeoff is worth it?

Moving to in house was the best decision I ever made. I think with the economy and job market behaving the way it is, any kind of change feels scarier because stability is by far the safest option. That is something you have to consider, but start applying to in house roles and see what you can find.

JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.
