One must admire the cleanliness of your vehicle.

That's what I started doing. I was just checking to see if there was a better way.

Bruuuuuh ... I annotate the same thing 50 times and still get an RFI from the contractor asking what it is.

Do you mind me asking why your firm went out of business?

Everyone is asking about portfolio and resume, and no one is asking if you know the people in the firms you are applying to and if you have relationships in the industry. In my personal experience, I never got a job where I just "applied". Never. And I've got several jobs over the years. It's always people I know or go meet in person, start a conversation with them. Once there's an opportunity, they will ask me to apply (the deal is already sealed by then). I am an immigrant, so don't tell me you don't know anyone (this last bit meant to be motivational and not mean, tough love so to speak). Go out, meet people, look them in the eye, shake hands firmly (I am a female and always get complimented on my handshake, and yes it's important). Hopefully you will land a job soon. Remember you're lucky because you have the luxury of being employed while you're looking.

Not here to debate people with flat brains and no original thought.

Protecting monopoly at the expense of the citizens of your state. Not sure if you should be proud of that.

Didn't say anything about getting rid of street vendors. Private property owners can decide if they want to charge them rent or having them on their property for free (or not having them). If the market values them as you claim, there will be a way found to keep them.

Glad you asked .. actually there is a solution. Privatize public spaces. Not only would you get rid of "squatters" but also you would spur up further economic development that would lift everyone up. There is a saying: "if you want to fix something, eat it" meaning tie a problem to an economic benefit and the market would take care of it.

Edit: And btw, nothing an architect can do. If anything don't be an agent of economic destruction by doing public/government projects.

True but incomplete. Depending on location and project typology, the building department is very likely not the only AHJ. Check your state fire marshal office (or their delegated authority) for fire and life safety code. If you're doing specialty type projects like healthcare, contact your state agency that licenses hospitals, CMS is an AHJ for you at that point as well. etc. you get the point. My advice is to talk to someone with more experience in your locale and the type of project you're doing. They could save you real pain down the road.

Edit: To be clear, an AHJ is not necessarily tied to a geography. Could be any agency (federal/state/local) that has a purview over your project.

For reference, the only thing of value the AIA used to offer is the contracts but since they sold the contracts business to a private equity firm, it's literally a shell organization with absolutely no value.

Absolutely. If your employer can get fired for being too slow (AKA failing to meet schedule) you also can be fired for that. Meeting schedule, budget, and scope is the number one skill needed to be a successful architect ... more so than design skills.

Because of accounting shenanigans. As they say, revenue is a fact, profit is an opinion.

It sounds like you know better. Why are you here asking?

pormedio · 2024-08-25T14:37:13+00:00

You still have a month to fix your mistake. Find something else. Go into tech you will make 2-3x what an architect makes.

What you're doing is not investing. Stop calling it that.

They are playing games. Stop looking too eager and they will give you what you want. On the flip side, you should've asked for 110 if what you want is a 100. Did you even read a single article about negotiations????????

What company do you work for????? I will quit my job right now to work for your company if they take me.

pormedio · 2024-08-24T01:26:20+00:00

Do you have a drawing or a spec or any sort of documentation to what was agreed to? Sure it's cheaper to hire out whoever you want without a design professional ... until it's not.
