I began my career in interior design.But after one year in the field,The long hours, client pressure, and lack of work-life balance started affecting my health and peace of mind.
With experience in AutoCAD, SketchUp & Revit.
So, I’m here to ask:
👉 Has anyone made a similar shift from interior design to BIM?
👉 Are there companies or mentors in the AEC field open to guiding career changers like me?
Your advice or mentorship would mean a lot. I'm open to learning and ready for a fresh start.

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?
