Is your elaborate what you meant by saying that

I am seeing a trend of people leaving in-house positions because they found themselves bored, and the benefits (pay, life balance, etc) were basically worse or the same. Mostly creatives, but even a couple account folks.

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 .
