Architecture school taught you how to design buildings not how to not how to survive, grow, or lead in your career. In this episode of Architecting, AEC Industry recruiter Bryce Batts calls out the rules that quietly keep you small and compliant. This isn’t about chasing the next job. It’s about designing your career on purpose — with clarity, self‑advocacy, and connections that actually move the needle.

1. Architects without personal career clarity get overlooked — even when they’re highly skilled
2. Every architect who advances has a sponsor, not just a mentor. Sponsors can see your potential within the firm and advocate for you to get opportunities.
3. Your career requires constant recallibration in order to be aligned with what you want to achieve at any given point in your life.
4. Keep the receipts of accomplishments and positive reviews- they give you confidence about your strengths, proof of what you have accomplished and reveal patterns around what you truly value.
5. Know when it’s time to renegotiate your role, change firms, or redesign your path
