Are you on the right salary in Architecture?

Architecture salary conversations should start with evidence, not nerves. Your role level, responsibility, location, software, sector and market demand all matter.

Jack Moran, Stephen Drew and Will Ridgway discuss architecture salaries, salary negotiation, knowing your worth, market data, salary guides, COVID-19 pressure, experience, employer conversations, skills, responsibility and practical ways to approach pay.

The conversation covers:

• How to compare salary against role level, location and responsibility
• Why salary guides are useful but need context
• How COVID-19 affected pay conversations at the time
• Why experience, responsibility and skills should shape negotiation
• How to approach salary conversations more calmly and specifically
