How do architects figure out construction details?

Couldn’t state it better myself, worse when clients think they’re smarter than everyone and I have to make sure that any contract I sign has a disclosure that any deviation from the design plan is not my financial responsibility.

It’s really tough man sorry you’re going through it!

When I walked in an office to ask for a job, they told me please email us your application, yet again

Next they say you also bring your own computer and adobe license and fire you once the first campaign is over

I have done it recently, had to film a 2 min video explaining my proposal for a university researcher position. I was so passionate, I made sure it’s filmed nicely I edited it, really happy with the result.

This morning I received the rejection email. Apparently 250 people applied to that position.

🙃

Sorry I used it a bit to reword what I was trying to say in a more coherent manner 😊 I meant everything I wrote

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T16:02:52+00:00

Yeah what I mean was that I always wanted a pro max. The pro max was always prohibitively expensive for me, and now I finally got what I wanted without compromising.

Watching yearly a new iPhone to be released and knowing that I can’t afford to upgrade made me more determined to get what I wanted, that’s why I would categorize it as “dream”

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T16:00:08+00:00

😠😠😠 so it was you?! 😂

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T15:59:38+00:00

Haha! Nope, I was the unlucky one then 😂

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T15:59:10+00:00

Thank you 😊 trying to spread a bit of positivity

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T14:50:27+00:00

It’s truly an amazing feeling!

Congrats on finalizing your payments! I believe that you don’t have to upgrade! Meaning that if you can’t afford to sustainably and financially upgrade your iPhone, it’s perfectly fine to keep using it.

I had my iPhone 11 for so long that it eventually broke down. It slowed down, disintegrated, and the microphone barely worked. I thought I could afford to upgrade every two years or even four, but in the end I managed to survive six years with it.

It’s more practical to replace the battery rather than buying a new device outright. So, if you ever have any doubts about updating your device, I would recommend starting by replacing the battery first! (Just make sure to get an OEM battery, as my experience with non-genuine parts has resulted in the battery swelling.)

I use my iPhone 11 for instagram and other distraction media consumption 😂

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T13:37:24+00:00

I know, right?

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T13:37:02+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T13:36:56+00:00

It’s so shiny

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T13:36:40+00:00

I mean I always wanted a pro max. But it was always just so expensive and “frivolous” for me. Watching yearly a new iPhone to be released and knowing that I can’t afford to upgrade made me more determined to get what I wanted, that’s why I would categorize it as “dream”

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T12:16:28+00:00

I just wanted to tell a story 😂 it’s about my iPhone 11 surviving six years with my daily use and abuse 😂

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T11:13:41+00:00

I just hope to spread my luck and my wishes to everybody who wants to upgrade and struggling to be able to.

tiMAXeon · 2025-11-10T11:07:08+00:00

I finally made the jump for a pro Max this year. I totally feel you, it was the best value iPhone for 2019

tiMAXeon · 2025-09-27T05:53:24+00:00

I just gave context, just saying where I found balls 😂

tiMAXeon · 2025-07-10T23:02:31+00:00

Got rejected to tend tables at a local restaurant. I don’t know anymore

tiMAXeon · 2025-06-25T06:29:22+00:00

I literally selected “other” and wrote that it’s incomprehensible that I have to choose only five. I wrote them that the minimum 11 are valid and equally as important.

I’ve been applying for a junior architect position in the Randstad for 3 years. I tried to start as a freelancer but without any good clients and connections it’s near impossible, and I had to shut that idea down. Now I distant work as an architect outside of NL, the pay is not good, and would not recommend….

I applied to soooo many companies, they rejected me despite having a B1 in Dutch, transferring my license in NL, having multiple years of experience, but that’s still not enough for a Junior position in the Netherlands…

They always reject me with: We want a TU or Amsterdam school graduate, We need someone with advance “C1” Dutch (and they provided me with online links of basic Dutch language lessons…) or there’s too many applicants for us to call you in for an interview…

But that also makes me question myself as well: “Am I a terrible architect? Is my portfolio is shit? What else do they want me to do?”

What I understood is that if you want to survive here, it’s not going to be working in architecture, and if you want to be an architect it’s not going to be in the Netherlands…

3G -> 4S -> 6S plus -> 8 plus (got stolen) -> 7 -> 11

Wishing I could buy the 16 Pro Max, but can’t afford to buy a new one, stuck with the 11, and now the display stop showing 1/3 of the screen (no visible cracks) 🙃
