Architecture Social on Lisa Rayne's "Architecture in the Den" Podcast

Architecture career paths rarely move in a straight line, especially when the market changes quickly and people need a clearer view of their next option.

Lisa Raynes and Stephen Drew discuss architecture career paths during the pandemic, market shifts, Architecture Social, job search strategy, franchising, networking, Clubhouse, upskilling and practical ways to keep moving.

The conversation covers:

• How the pandemic affected architecture jobs and confidence
• Why market awareness matters before making a career move
• How Architecture Social began as a community and support platform
• What franchising, networking and upskilling can offer architecture professionals
• Why job seekers need evidence, clarity and support rather than vague applications
