I am interviewing at a couple of firms in Boston and would love to hear local architect opinions about each one. I have 4 yrs experience, Revit lead at my last job, LEED AP, can do great renderings in max and put together presentations, am looking to grow in my CD, CA experience, am starting my AREs this upcoming yr.
Things I am looking for:
- Integrated design, collaborative, mentorship for someone who is learning how a building goes together
- great design, cutting edge programs + graphics (I like doing graphics but dont want to be pigeon holed, need client and CA experience)
- I have always worked in large firms, lean towards being the main office even if there are other offices worldwide, prefer public projects (have never worked on custom res), love an office that has a great social environment (happy hours, lunch and learns, etc)
isn't studio Troika in Malden? It wasn't a bad town exactly, but has a somewhat industrial feel. Good luck Rusty and be sure to mention you were cheering for the Bruins this year ;)
Apologies in advance for somewhat redirecting the conversation.
How's the job market in Boston? Are firms hiring? Firing? What sort of projects are firms getting? Is it an impossible place to get employed, as seems the case for Chicago?

Hi all,
I am interviewing at a couple of firms in Boston and would love to hear local architect opinions about each one. I have 4 yrs experience, Revit lead at my last job, LEED AP, can do great renderings in max and put together presentations, am looking to grow in my CD, CA experience, am starting my AREs this upcoming yr.
Things I am looking for:
- Integrated design, collaborative, mentorship for someone who is learning how a building goes together
- great design, cutting edge programs + graphics (I like doing graphics but dont want to be pigeon holed, need client and CA experience)
- I have always worked in large firms, lean towards being the main office even if there are other offices worldwide, prefer public projects (have never worked on custom res), love an office that has a great social environment (happy hours, lunch and learns, etc)
Firms:
- Shepley Bulfinch
- TRO
- CBT
- studio Troika
Thanks!
SBRA does some nice work - they did a alzheimers research building in my home town - absolutley gorgeous project.

Don't be hateful just because no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since 1993.
