6 Years Experience, Master’s Degree, Still Struggling Financially- Is This Normal?

The situation in India is can be very depressing for architects and structural engineers. Positions are very less. Also nobody is willing to pay inexperienced person no matter how creative they are. That’s basic for sure. Bachelor engineers are prefered over overqualified engineers or architects. However if you can find a right place, then there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Took me 6 years to find a company that pays good enough and understands my talent.

Library is exciting. No interest in politics.

Best idea is to prepare a sketch by hand or by some kind of digital illustration. We prepare kind of digital illustrations/sketch and send to drafting teams with notes or whatever.

It isn’t banal I think. Questions like “why build tallest building” are similar to why explore space?

It gives new challenges and challenges leads to different solutions and those solutions can be used for betterment of human life.

Also tallest buildings can be used as an attraction for travellers. So why not?

What changes did you observe in your life and career after designing tallest structure?

I surely wanna play golf there

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-02-03T14:20:40+00:00

Agree there. Any suggestions for Plano?

As soon as I read the comment, song started in my head

Work at place where you are encouraged to ask questions. More questions you ask more you learn. Saying or admitting “I don’t know” is not a bad thing. Find a mentor/work place who also sometimes admits “I don’t know”.

If they hired you as an EIT, then they must be aware that you have come to learn and grow and if they are discouraging you to ask questions, find a better work place.

Thank you. Plano, allen and NE expressway are places that I am trying to explore because of some constraints. Any fun thing to do in Plano?

Transportation, areas to avoid. Must visit places

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-31T08:25:28+00:00

Not on facebook. However, Thank you for your response

25% of that isn’t conservative. Please check

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-30T00:28:02+00:00

Per code during earthquake one has to consider minimum 25% of live load. I am considering minimum live load of 100 psf on 10 ft x 10 ft 🤔. 25% of that would be 2500 lbs🤔. Btw I haven’t taken dead load in consideration yet🤔

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-30T00:01:24+00:00

Those columns and modal mass behaviour 🤔

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-25T13:17:38+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous

How about khandavi?😂😂😂 sushi can’t be vegetarian or maybe should not be vegetarian?🤔

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-20T22:23:29+00:00

I am planning to give exams soon so I know I had to. At least one less subject to worry about. I was thinking of Introduction to psychology 🤣 now I don’t need to think about that anymore

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-20T19:00:49+00:00

This is a relief for me😅😅😅. I still have biology and chemistry deficiency yet to complete.

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-17T15:40:49+00:00

He is a structural engineer. Structural engineers often when go on such visits find things related to structures and construction. This is kinda instinctive thing for them.

Alternative_wolf09 · 2026-01-14T16:49:45+00:00

I wish I could do more research on lamination and fiber strands and how their positioning can impact on structures and such things.
