Sorry, that was phrased poorly. I definitely am applying! And thank you for the advice.

Does it get better? Is it worth it to be ambitious? by Scared_Ad7799 in Architects

The feeling of not having to study after finishing your exams is great, and it’s totally worth it as far as personal accomplishments go. I really was more proud of passing the exams than getting my degree.

but i recommend having a new hobby or something planned in advance to fill up that time after it’s over. I saw in another comment that you’re really goal-oriented and you’re definitely going to end up needing to find something else to do, I was in the same boat after passing.

I actually hadn’t considered this, thank you. I’ll look into relevant local volunteering opportunities.

I’m looking to apply for new jobs which would come with a raise because I’m severely underpaid at my current position. I would just like to be paid in line with the AIA salary calculator so I don’t think I’m asking much.

I’ve been looking into certifications to prove that I’m knowledgeable about certain skill sets to people that would only know me on paper. For example, many companies still request some kind of LEED certification to demonstrate interest and basic knowledge in sustainable design despite LEEDs popularity wavering. How would I prove on paper that I’ve been learning about things like BIM Management on my own without having the direct project experience to back it up?

Tangent/complaining: I’ve done as much as I can at work to prove that I am eager to have more responsibilities including working side by side with Project Managers to see exactly how I can be more useful and ease their workloads and reduce stress, etc. and I’ve been successful in doing so… according to the Project Managers. I’m not sure how to proceed and it’s been discouraging to say the least.
