    in-house if you want a life, and can deal with bureaucracy and stuff like that. agency if you want to build your portfolio and play pool at work. and meet more cute girls.

    agency can be ok, but if you put too much of your life into an agency remember that somebody there, the owner, is making the money off your labor.

    in-house you are a cog but the company usually will give you a lot more benefits in the long run and you can build up things like 401k, pension, etc. much better than at an agency.

    and, this is big - you go home on time and have your weekends

    • nailed it, i think as a junior, i'm going to go back to agency, i've jumped ship to in-house too quickly and i'm scared of picking up bad habits. i'd also rather learn from fellow designers than people who have no idea.hitsuji
