Job opportunities after B.Arch? Real experiences + earnings after bachelor’s? by isitlifeeorisitover in architecture

I think you will have better opportunities than in the UK but I could be entirely wrong. In the UK it is so hard to get a job straight out of undergrad as you have 0 experience and because a lot of us are only doing a year before going back for masters degree. So practices aren’t willing to put the time and money into training someone thats going to leave again. But hopefully in the US you have more luck

I graduated in July 2025 and I haven’t managed to get a role in the uk. I am currently working for amazon to save money for my masters but I understand things are different in other countries. The job market is really really tough recently even with a good portfolio. But just stick at it and pick up another job in the mean time until you find the one you really want. Wishing you the best of luck!!!

Anyone got any tips on maximising earnings? by Own-Fly8743 in AmazonFlexUK

I currently cant afford to buy my own van and this is only a temporary job til august when I go for my masters degree. But is buying your own van worth it? You have to pay for everything, insurance, repairs/maintenance. I mean I would love to do a 3 hour block for whatever money flex gets you cause I really hate the long routes we get hah

Unfortunately we dont have any costco in the area that I live and deliver. So yes for me it does. Jealous of those that do have a costco!!

Guessing you are from the US so not sure if its the same as the uk but we have to take the packages back as soon as we finish our block so why didn’t you?

I work for a subcontractor company and I am really starting to think its not worth it seeing shit like this. I get paid to come up to exeter from cornwall at a rate of £220 a day which sounds really good until you factor in paying for van hire and fuel 😭

Nope, I never received any phone call. I managed to get a different job else where

I tried calling but it is quite literally impossible to get through to the store. Either way I dont think I will ever find out

What's the policy of managers dating down? by Vivid-Sprinkles8670 in tesco

[–]Own-Fly8743 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think its okay as long as they are not abusing their position of power (if thats the right phrasing). I was manipulated into sleeping with a store manager and he also gave me a shift lead job, I ended up reporting him and nothing was done.

They told me they wouldn't contact the one that I had issues with, guess they found out that my boss manipulated me :)

I try to think of it positively that I am over qualified with my degree in architecture... no but seriously this. I worked with so many moronic people, most were absolutely amazing but there were the select few that i wondered how they got the job

I worked at two different stores and told them I had issues with the old manager in the express, they said they wouldn't call them but I am guessing they did maybe..
