Juz to share my experience. I got 2 interview with the creative agency last week. I got a lot of advise from the interview. They said, If you're young(20++), you better get ur ass in the creative agency. Yes, the pay is not high as you expected, but you will learn a lot from agency. You will improve your skill, your detail in design and everything. And trust me, only from the agency you can achieve higher level either as AD, CD and so on. They told me they interview one graphic designer which already have 5 years experience working at Printing House/Production before. They pity him because at that age (30++), no improvement on his portfolio. Because as a designer, your exposure is very limited if you're stuck in Medai House/Printing House.

I know this is true because I'm working at Media House currently. And yes, I do see that my design is not improve a lot. Media/Printing House is a very comfort zone for designer. No stress, so urgent deadline, no staying up late and so on. But, when you already spent lets say 2-3years there,then you started to find a new job. Trust me, it's hard to get the job title as 'Senior Graphic Designer' with your current portfolio. So, now i'm thinking to make a move since im still young, 25 yo. Haha.
