I have 3 offers from firms. The I actually want is a little less pay, 65k vs 68k, but it does residential remodeling which I find interesting and more relevant than retail or commercial. Is it worth it in the long run though? Financially I'd like to eventually be at 3 figures to be comfortable. My favorite part of the job is doing the drawings and problem solving, which I've learned is the lower paying positions. Is this true? I plan to stay at whichever company I choose for a while

As a luxury residential remodeler I can tell you it’s a tough business. Full of divas and constant change. The product is glamorous, the process is not. If I had to start again I would want to gain experience in complex buildings. You can always do residential if you’re a commercial architect but as a residential one you will find it uphill to work in better, more profitable projects.
There are problem-solving opportunities everywhere. BIM, energy, processes, lean,does not exist in small project

Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?

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. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?
