In this market is it safer to look to be on the corporate side of things or agency life?

I don’t think that one is safer than the other in this market.  The decision to work on the corporate side versus the agency side is really dependent on what you are comfortable with and which opportunities present themselves. The important thing is to do your homework.  Do your best to investigate the stability of the company you intend to work for. Find out as much as you can about their corporate culture. Ask poignant questions to determine the long term viability of the role.
