I would do my best to get a job in a design studio right out of school. You'll have more chance of exploring design ideas and get good input from designers who haven't already had the life sucked out of them. As a young designer Inhouse at a company, there's more chance of your ideas being crushed by people who know dick about design and you might not have enough experience / tenure to argue back.
Find a nice design studio. Don't let those nasty inhouse jobs crush your ideals until you're about 6 years into a design career.
Having said that, I'm now into 20 years as a designer and I enjoy inhouse work because I can diplomatically hold my own against the uneducated, and I have experience in other facets of marketing.
- good advice...go in-house after you've been creative on multiple clients firstmonospaced
- I'm moving in-house after 2.5 years at a small studio. In all honest i'm really happy to be making the jump.d_rek
- I did the same and I can't imagine going the other way around at the beginning of my careermonospaced
- Upside of inhouse is that it pays well but I find the tradeoff is a large portion of your creativity.Melanie
- You tend to get home earlier from inhouse roles allowing time for you to make even more money from creatively rewarding jobsAmicus
