Apparently, the architectural design industry is going downhill like never before here in Melbourne. The market is extremely quiet, and sometimes there are over 200+ applicants for just one grad role. It's not a well-paid occupation, but still this competitive!? I'm not sure how long my passion will hold up in this kind of situation... It’s just very difficult to cope with…

Hi everyone,
Can anyone pls connect me directly to the manager for onboarding, instead of company's job refferal id wise, coz mostly none of the companies actually reach out. I'm tired of current organisation's politics and want to quit. But due to 90 days notice period not getting any calls for interview.
I'm a PLSQL developer and data analyst using Excel and Tableau (basic), currently I have 2 yoe also having fair knowledge unix and java as well.
Please help.
Thankyou!

Any recs on how to land an in house gig? I’m applying to things online with no bite

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

I had a 3rd round interview with a VP yesterday, sent a follow up email after and included a general question and no response. Is this a bad sign?

Next week I have two skill interviews w/ Accenture & Bioventus (both Workday positions) . Any advice / recommendations on preparation for the questions (and answers) they may ask?

Hi Sharks,

Has any of you attended interview with ServiceNow company? I am shortlisted for second round, want to know what to expect in 2nd round and what to prepare.

You did an interview and your interviewer apologized that the travel time 180minutes was much higher than 30minutes scheduled time for the interview and that It could have been done remotely, but she has to follow the process. I am still waiting for feedback though.

Is this just a humane demonstration?

I’ve interviewed at Tuck, Ross, and Fuqua — is it common to get rejected at all the schools you interview with? And if so, does that mean your application was strong but your interview gave them pause? To be clear I haven’t heard any decisions yet, just anxiety

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day.

Any recommendations?

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour.

I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
