Ive just been made redundant. Still very fresh. The work environment had not been the best anyway, so the writing was on the wall. So where to now?
Just feel at 49 going on 50 that maybe I need a change in career or role. Has any other Architect transitioned into another area in construction or different field altogether.
Obviously need to clarify my skill sets. Been working for small to medium firms constantly for 23 years. Role project architect. Liaising with stakeholders builders, consultants authorities, taking meetings, doing contract paper work, told good ppl person dealing with clients. Working through planning and building permit requirements. Believe I do have a good professional manor. Maybe more skills to list but cant think. My role over the last 6 years has been more admin. Hence why Im probably a tad over it.
Being random was thinking short term Uber driving. I like cars and detailing. Just dont think these are long term options and pay will obviously be a big drop. Family to feed. No real significant debts, but bills to pay and family to feed. Wife doesn't work.
Just a tad over the responsibility of current role Im in, so conscious that pay may need to be the disadvantage for job forfillment. Im mixed about how I feel at moment as its still fresh not being able to turn up to my job of 3.5 years.
Love to hear ppls thoughts.
I feel for you and wish you all the best.
