Depends hugely on the firm. Design is an underpaid profession in general.
My friend who did transportation planning was offered 72k right out of her masters. 80k - 90k seems to be the general trend for those with masters at entry level.

I’ve no idea. Most people in the urban design/architecture field ultimately want to have their own practice. Most of my friends who went to architecture school ended up starting their own practice. That’s where the money is. Maybe your so could try a real estate or project management company who might need a designer if they want to make money.

I appreciate you sharing your insight either way! Ya, urban design is super niche, hence why it’s been so hard to figure out salary comparisons :/ nonetheless, I appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts!

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
