    Agencies are quicker to turn around staff, and agency staff are far more likely to jump around from company to company, or go freelance. Agency life isn't easy, and isn't as stable, which right now in NYC during COVID isn't a good thing.

    As in-house staff, I feel like I'm far more stable in my role. While my company has completely halted sending work to agencies, we have retained all staff and have brought more work in-house. My job is far more stable than ANYONE I know in agencies. In fact, I'd say 85-90% of people I know in agencies were let go during COVID. Only about 10% of in-house designers I know were.

    Conclusion. In-house in NYC is better than agency, right now.
