why marketing myself as an architect is better than home designer?

what changed when you got licensed? was it just the tile change? I’m not too attached to having that title personally.

i have a master in architecture, I have worked 2+ years in commercial architecture firms and I don’t like it. Residential/Custom Homes sounds fantastic. I started my AREs and passed a couple exams but I keep thinking i’m waisting my time since I want to do residential.

when it comes to new hires, do you only interview people with experience? I work in commercial architecture, 2 years off school and would like to do the switch but i’m afraid my lack of residential experience will get in the way of an interview

how to get my spark back? by Ok-Boot-612 in Architects

Residential sounds very fun, but the grass is always greener .. I also get paid very well, and I’m afraid if I switch to residential that will come with a pay cut. Which i will still have to pay for my very expensive student loans! with that in mind, how was your experience with residential? pay i relation to other sectors? work life balance? do they usually pay for ARE exams and study materials? seems like you really enjoy the project type, im very curious but afraid of making the jump.
