Would it be weird for someone in a director level position at an agency to take a manager level position on the client side? Can it hurt my career in anyway?

No. And No. Good luck!

I’m doing that! Clientside roles aren’t as flat as agencies (thus the rare amount of 26 y/o Directors). It’s a stretching beyond my agency experience, so I can’t imagine it’s detrimental in any way. However at VP I imagine you could swing a Director title!

Totally normal. Agency titles are crazy inflated.

It's not agency titles are inflated... the work in agency is not as easy as one would think. Managing multiple client requests isn't really a thing outside agencies, for example. That's not easy.

That said, if the money matches but the title doesn't... why does it matter? I've seen managers go to analysts too. Title doesn't matter
