That sucks. I jumped from the world of tech into starting my own agency. There seems to be a lot of crappy agencies and firms out there that use questionable tactics to get the job done faster and for cheaper rather than correctly. I think it stems from not wanting to leave any money on the table. Rather than only taking clients that are a good fit culturally or have realistic goals, they take everyone. When you take everyone it pretty quickly turns into a race to the bottom and you end up with shoddy work.
For sure. There's ups and downs to both worlds. I get bored easily, so the ability to jump from project to project while having the same job is something I really like. As many bad agencies there are out there, there's some good ones too.

So true. This is one of the main reasons I am happy to be out of that sector. The #StartUpLife, despite the stress, is much more fun.
