Hi Bowlers, how many pages for portfolio is acceptable? So far I have 50, but now one company is asking I don’t have any mood boards showing.

These people … always asking for more! We usually get around 30 pages of the most recent and relevant work in which you participated directly, not the entire project, otherwise you will end up with a book!

Thats what makes sense to me too. I put space planning, renderings, some detail pages, and my personal art work to showcase my hand sketching abilities. now i got from one of them that there is no mood board, i already have like about 10 projects in there, all totaling to 50 pages. I’m scared, and know if it goes to more than that people would stop reading it

I think it really depends on the company you are applying to. It's nice to see your work for a design company but most architecture firms just wanna know your exposure to multiple projects and how well you produce drawings. I would not go over board by any means

I’m a Senior Project Manager at an engineering consulting firm - I don’t have my PE as of yet and my compensation is $100k + bonus. Just a bit of background, at my firm a Senior PM is someone with 8+ years exp. I have 10 years experience and on track to making Principal in a couple of months. I seriously think I’m on the low end of the salary range as a Senior PM. What’s a typical Senior PM or Principal compensation in your firm?

I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
