Design Architect Reviews
What is it like working as a Design Architect?
May 2015
Long Hours, Low Pay, Less creative than school.
Design Architect:
Don't do it for the money as it isn't profitable.
Join a good small to medium sized firm with advancement opportunities and a culture that fits you.
Focus on a couple of building types to offset swings in market conditions.
Focus on doing a few things well and don't sweat the rest.
Be accurate. Be fast.
May 2015
Facing reality.

Ask for exactly what you want for compensation.
Design Architect:
March 2015
Should I quit my job?
Design Architect:
When I started at this company I gave 120% and get back 80%, mainly in relations with trades.
The company is not properly structured.
My advice if you want to grow, you should look somewhere else unless some changes are made at the top.
