your help is appreciated!
Hello everyone,

I've recently relocated to the Toronto area in Canada. My background is in architecture, and I also have experience in marketing.

I'm curious about the nature of architectural jobs here in Canada, in terms of work-life balance. Are they demanding and do they frequently require overtime hours? Can I pursue studies while working full-time? I'd appreciate your insights on this matter.

TIA

For the most part they offer pretty good work life balance depending on where you work. I worked full time while getting my Master's degree so its definitely doable. I will say it was difficult but not impossible.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
