Architecture Killed My Career

<p>&ldquo;W<em>e&rsquo;re parting ways with you. We&rsquo;ve made efforts to find a good fit, but we can see that you&rsquo;re not content with your work here. This decision isn&rsquo;t related to your recent experience as a new mom.&rdquo;</em></p> <p>In many states, employers are not legally required to provide a reason for terminating an employee. I was let go from my job six months after returning from maternity leave without any explanation or prior notice.</p> <p>I was employed as a project manager at an architectural firm for 6 years. It was my initial job right after college, and I was assured of a prosperous career. The career path is equally challenging for those familiar with the demanding hours and dedication required to earn an Architecture degree. After graduation, you must complete 3,740 internship hours and pass six rigorous exams to become a licensed Architect. My concern is not the rigors of becoming an architect but rather the toxic work environment.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/fourth-wave/architecture-killed-my-career-4db1e383b7a2"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
