$114k to $212k for a Senior Architect. That’s £88k to £165k in British money. I thought it was for an IT Architect 😩 at first but then I read the details. THIS JOB IS FOR AN ARCHITECT WHO DESIGNS BUILDINGS‼️ 😀 So why am I posting this? This job ad should give you a good insight into where Architects are valued (I’m purely talking in Ca💲h terms). Designing Data Centres is fast becoming a high paying specialism that you may want to look at if you want to get out of the dreaded £40k- £60k pool that most architects are swimming in.

The 3 best paid job titles in the UK are, according to Reed: 1. Security architect, £115k 2. Solution architect, £101k 3. Cloud architect, £98k Eh?! Why do all fancy IT jobs now need to be called 'architect'? I am genuinely curious as to why the technology / data industry borrowed the language of the construction industry to describe a senior role. And it's not just IT, there are "social architects" and "change architects". I've absolutely no idea what they do. Does anyone? And was it originally a USA thing? Surely British companies didn't use to do this? The media industry is just as bad. Editors are now frequently "Head of content". Fascinated to know why pretentious job titles proliferate. All thoughts welcome, please...

Our solution architects have a challenging job. They must understand and consider several, often contradictory aspects while designing solutions. Just to name a few: - Environmental context (capabilities & limitations @ business & technology) - Future plans and strategic directions (business & technology) - Budget, time, resource constraints - Non-functional requirements The most challenging part is when these aspects are contradicting. 😉

The UK Technology Architecture market is in a dangerous position! Here are some stats from some research I conducted over the weekend. In the UK there are; - 301 Architects with less than 2 years experience - 749 with 2-4 years experience - 1.7k with 4-6 years experience - 3k with 6-8 years experience - 4.4k with 8-10 years experience - 14k with 10-15 years experience - 25k with 15-20 years experience This is across the general job titles: #SoftwareArchitect #solutionarchitect #enterprisearchitect #dataarchitect #cloudarchitect This shows that in a few years we won't have enough people with the right experience to plug the gaps at the top. Why is this? Essentially, architecture is seen as an 'end of career' or progressive role, i.e. Engineers that don't want to manage but want to stay close to the tech and want more money become architects. This is just one example. Why don't businesses create junior architect roles and train people to become actual architects? #softwarearchitecture #solutionarchitect #enterprisearchitecture #dataarchitecture

I've noticed a trend lately in job postings for "architect" roles, often misleadingly referring to Computer "architects" with specialized technical skills. Today, however, the narrative shifted as we received an unexpected application from an individual showcasing their computer expertise for an "architect" position with us. Could this be a sign of changing times ahead? It's a reminder of the importance of safeguarding the integrity and identity of our beloved profession. #Architect #ProfessionalIntegrity #CareerTrends

It can be frustrating when job alerts for architecture positions are filled with roles from the tech industry, especially when they are unrelated to traditional architecture, such as programming jobs using the title "Architect." This broad use of the term can be confusing and misleading for those in the architectural profession. However, it is important to recognize the unique expertise and contributions of architects in shaping the built environment. In my opinion, architects should maintain the value of their title in a meaningful way and the tech industry should find another title for themselves.

In looking for work in the specific fields of Enterprise Architecture and Business Architecture, I find that at least 90% of the job announcements using these labels are in fact mislabeled Solution Architect jobs. Whether such mislabeling is accidental, unintentional, or intentional, it is a huge waste of a job-seeker's, and recruiters' time.
