There is a trap for in-house (which is kind of similar to Agency I think but less so)
If you are competent they will want you to become management, which at first can be flattering but you can find yourself moving away from doing actual design to just being in meetings all day
A few years of this and you may have a bit more money and status, but you haven't touched Photoshop for two years.
At that point you need to evaluate who you are: A manager or an actual designer
If you are happy being management, fine. But personally I hate being in meetings all day and prefer not to manage people. I like working with the tools
- I say that moving into management in-house is indicative of higher job stability and is far more preferable than being an easily replaceable artistmonospaced

- you can be an easily replaceable manager
I just like using the tools and hate managing people. its like babysittingdkoblesky - It’s not as easy to replace a leader. It takes a long time to get a new one up to speed and companies hesitate to go through that disruption.monospaced
