As someone that finished their "Architecture Experience Track" (or whatever it was called at the time) in ~5 years (2005 => 2010) and then never bothered really trying to take the Licensing Exams, I find it fascinating to look at NCARB's data every year even though I've been 100% out of that industry for over 3 years now. The fact that they're still blaming the pandemic for dropping numbers of people starting & finishing the experience track is naive, there was a clear trend BEFORE 2020 and it looks to me like 2021 and 2022 are just continuations of that trend (though I'm sure it was expedited by the pandemic). Also: an average of 4.5 years to finish the experience track, but 13+ years average to getting licensed? An 8 year gap for people taking the licensing exams?! That should be terrifying to NCARB & the profession as a whole. Here's the link for their 2023 data: https://lnkd.in/eP9YMdHE

I've been listening to the Tangents podcast for over a year now, and I kept thinking: "I'd love to be a guest on this!" Well it happened! I had a great time meeting and talking with Jake and Silvia at Out of Architecture, and hopefully I shared something useful to someone out there who's been in similar situations during their life.
"If somebody mentions they want to make a change or a tweak to the website, I tend to find that I'm thinking much more about the whole structure and finding ways of, if you add X here, it's going to impact Y there, and we need to think about that. That helps me feel like my experience is very valuable like I'm making these connections and associations that other people might not be." Our guest today is Danny Rupp (he/him), a web development team lead who has been lucky enough to work-from-home in Maryland since 2010. With a bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University of Maryland he started his career as an architectural designer, but slowly transitioned on the job into working as a full stack web developer on software for office space planning. In 2020 he made the jump out of architecture and into full time web development as a Drupal developer and team lead. In this enriching episode of Tangents, host Silvia welcomes Danny Rupp, a versatile expert who has navigated a unique pathway from architecture to web development. Danny describes himself using three distinctive words: extroverted, empathic, and curious. He delves into his career beginnings, highlighting his tenure at a small architecture firm in Maryland and his adaptation during the 2008 financial crisis. Danny's pivot to web development, driven by his passion for coding and problem-solving, emerges as a central theme. He reflects on his dual role in architectural federal contracting and web development, emphasizing the value of continuous learning and adaptation. 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: ➡️ Adaptability in Career Shifts: Danny's transition from architecture to web development illustrates the value of leveraging diverse skill sets and staying open to new learning opportunities. ➡️ Continuous Learning: Highlighting the importance of curiosity, Danny emphasizes the value of always pursuing new knowledge and adapting to industry changes. ➡️ Effective Project Management: Danny shares insights on the significance of good project management, particularly the benefits of prioritizing tasks and transparent communication. ➡️ Working from Home: Danny discusses his long-term experience with remote work, the productivity benefits, and maintaining a good work-life balance. ➡️ Connecting with Peers: The episode underscores the importance of networking and learning from friends and colleagues across various industries to foster career growth.
