With so much uncertainty in the industry right now would you rather accept a “Contract to Hire” position working in-house for a huge retailer/e-commerce company or a full time position at an ad agency?

In-house. No question.

In house of course! Way more stability

TY! Why do you think more stability? I worry that being a contractor will make me easily dispensable even if larger corporations are more stable than agencies right now.

I’d just scour Glassdoor and places to see if contractors actually get hired. They don’t at NBC and Disney for example, but if they do I think it’s currently the more stable net.

Bet* 😒
