    I went in-house from a small studio about 1.5 years ago. At first the allure of in-house was appealing.. steady hours, superb benefits, if not exactly ehilirating work... and it balanced well with my personal life. But not i'm sort of having seconds thoughts and feeling like I ought to be shopping around again. I suppose it's only natural for creative types to have disdain for complacency. We want to be challenged. We want to feel alive. We want to feel passion. Well, the other end of the story is that there are many ways to find those things in life. If you need the paycheck from your gig then you need to find a way to breakup your days after hours. Try freelancing. Initiate some self-starter projects. Take up a hobby. Get a girlfriend / wife / family. Just do something. If you don't you're bound to end up wondering why the hell the day-to-day is worth it. And if you decide it's not.. well there's that option too.

    • Good thoughts. I try to tell myself "get in, work well, get out" and go home for time with wife, my own hobbies, etc.TheGreatGlorpo
