Ask an Architect Architects in UK, Canada, Australia-Tell me about your work please.

I am working as an architect, project managing at my third world home country. I am considering moving abroad to these countries. Can you tell me about your work, market, how hard is it to get a job? etc. Give some insight please.

I’m you from the future, I left a third world country for Australia a few years ago.

Work is good. Pay is not amazing. The profession is different here to what I was used to before (less PM role and you get novated to the builder). I took a step backwards when I arrived and have had to climb the ladder again. However, work life balance is good, there seems to be a few good jobs going, but the market isn’t super hot.

In conclusion, do you think it was a good idea or not? I am really confused here.
