      1. I'm a freelancer to big agencies (30%)

      2. I do consulting under my own brand (69.8%)

      3. I work on my own sites (.2%)

      Makes me look like I go by every SEO opportunities. Call me easy, but call me maybe...

        @all: Are you happy with the position you currently have ? (in house, agency or working on your own projects).

        Or are you stuck but you would like to move ? (from in house to agency, from agency to in house and so on )

        Really curious about the level of "happiness" with current positions in the community - and again, it's mainly about the Q and A community as I've seen a lot of activity on the blog from people that are not present here..

                  @Catalyst Online: So you you've seen how green the grass is on both sides of the fence. So Is Cesar or Robert that's right ? (drama vs boring)  :))

                      I am in-house

                      Level of happiness - 9.0 out of 10

                      Desire to experience the agency side of life: 7.0 out of 10

                      What would it take to get me to move from one to the other? - $30K above my current salary (which isn't really that high)

                      Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

                          I'm in-house, and SEO wasn't originally part of my job description.

                          Basically, anything online is now my domain. I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers to control all aspects of online presence?

                            Freelancer.  Some days I wish I was in an agency though. On the other hand, when the wind is behind you there is no better way to be! (IMHO of course).

                                    Seo is a marathon, not a race. One client leads to others! Keep up the good work!

                                          It looks like around 40% users here in SEOMOz are in fact agencies.. based on what Rand said in todays WBF: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/conducting-market-research-before-investing-in-tactical-execution-whiteboard-friday
