I jumped ship about 8 years ago... And i couldn't be happier!
The luster soon wore thin, and this idea of everything had to be "award winning" just meant make up some bullshit we can't build or make just started to make me very unhappy.
As soon a the iphone arised i knew the work we did would change. So i started working clientside in what to many where "uncool" places - Banks, Advice services... Focusing more on user and proper products - i when from CD to midweight designer - Hands off to hands on. learning all the tools, and warned my mates in them ivory tower, a cull is coming... I found myself in the start up world, and i've never been happier and the fact that i own a piece of where i am and if it continues going well (over three years they have been around) i could be looking at a VERY pretty nest egg. My bosses are so chilled, a product that actually does good, freedom to work from home, trips to Cyprus to hang out with my dev team... All the stuff agency life never could give me.
