I know that no job is easy, and in any company and profession we will find crazy and stupid people that will make our life more difficult but that isn't the problem here.
I have more interviews in the next days, but I think that no matter which company I work for or what the project is, I will just be miserable in architecture. I guess.no need to mention I came crying everyday after work. Last job I got from day 2 I was feeling stressed, cold hands, felt like I wanted to vomit and that was like that for 1 week, after 1 week I left the job.
#HELL ARCHITECT REDDIT SOFTWARE#
I think If I were to spend the same amount of hours I spend weekly working in architecture doing something else ( maybe software dep) would be in a totally different situation. I feel like I have wasted my life in something I love but doesn't not give me the satisfaction I need. So after 8 years of architecture (school and work) I am tired/depressed. Prior to working in architecture I was working for a telecommunications company and I was working no more than 40hrs/week and having a OK salary that allowed me to have a happy healthy life. And don't get me wrong I have done my job/research and I have a pretty good salary compared to other people in the same field with my experience. It is impossible not to compare myself with other friends who went to school in something else and work half of the time I work and make at least 30% more compared to any salary in architecture. Long story short, after almost 3 years I feel unsatisfied with architecture, I think it is sad how people are willing to work for long hours a week having such a low salary ( compared to other professions). Now, to be honest from the first day of work with the very first company, I was feeling depressed, but I guess the excitement of having a job with pretty well known company made me forget how shitty I was feeling so I just continued the "fake it 'til you make it". I can say in general I am pretty well educated human being. I worked in Canada and USA and I speak English, French and Spanish.
I have worked for 3 different companies that go from small studios with 15 employees to companies with 400 people in just one office. I spent 5 yrs studying architecture, been working in architecture for almost 3 yrs. My background: I went to school in Business and Architecture, so I got a bachelor's degree in Business admin, another one in architecture and I also did my M.Arch. Or maybe I just sort want to know I am not the only one in this situation. Hi everyone, I'd love to have your thoughts on this.
