My husband has done all of the above in his career, sorry I hadn't read all your posts. Residentiatial will be very easy to get into! Medical will require all the OSHA standards and a lot of ICC seminars which is how my husband ultimately became a Bldg Code Spclst. He does a lot the QC and Ofc. policy for his firm.

Oh, I wasn't saying that you should have read my posts (because apparently everyone thinks I'm a communist  )
Seminars = boring (but sometimes necessary)
Do y'all recommend any firms in Denver? Anybody stand-out above the rest? |

What exactly do you do? When my husband gets home this evening I can PM you to let you know which ones he knows of that has a good reputation. We don't live in Denver but I think he can find out for you. |

As far as residential architects you are going to have literally a enormous selection from small firms to big corporate outfits. What it really boils down to is what you would prefer. Personally I would go for a smaller outfit. less stress and more attention

But benefits matter. You always have to look at benefits.

Well... I'm still working on licensing... so I need a diversity when it comes to filling out my IDP stuff.
I am more comfortable with the atmosphere of medium-sized firms (20-50 people), and have heard/seen that it is more difficult to get a variety of experience with small/large firms. Although I don't see why you would be pigeon-holed in a small firm (it seems to me they would need you to be well versed in all areas).
As far as benefits go... yeah... I want them. We are in safe-harbor mode at the firm I'm at now... some I retain 100% of my employees 401(k) contribution from day one. We don't have dental though... that would be nice.

working from home is the next big step as businesses look to drop real estate costs to turn profits. ive been doing it for a while now. rarely use my car. have safeway deliver the groceries so as not to disturb my work and play time. doesnt matter where i live in that environment, so im happy with the quiet pace of the burbs
