Just about, if the wall was structural you may need to install a beam or lintel above the door to share the load, but the door can be installed all the same. If you’re unsure if the wall is load bearing or a partition, I would consult a structural engineer or a skilled general contractor, before demoing anything.

Please be careful if this is a shear wall

It would still be possible?

Some walls can, some can't.

Hire a licensed professional engineer who designs structures to perform an analysis and confirm in a sealed report that it is possible for the specific situation you are concerned with.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

How soon is too soon to start looking and applying to jobs after accepting a position?

Context:

I recently accepted a position at the company and have been working as a temp for the past 3 months. I really enjoy the people I work with and the company seems to really support its employees, however it is in a field that doesnt exactly align with what I would like to be doing. And unfortunately the compensation package is also lacking.

I’d to get a job in a small architecture firm or work for a developer to help build up my network. For the past 6 years I’ve taught high school architecture and engineering and done real estate on the side. I have an industrial design degree and tremendous construction and real estate sales knowledge. I also started architecture school but stupidly switched to industrial design. I don’t want to go back to school for architecture. Ultimately, I want to own my own company developing real estate.
