MLA Harvard GSD Starting salaries
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know what are MLA starting salaries in general in the US ? and what are starting salaries for the MLA I Harvard GSD or MLA II ?
Thanks
the same regardless of the name on the piece of paper. Anywhere from 1$/hr to a million I think.
6-month post graduation M.Arch salaries ranged from $60k to $150k in the last salary survey from a few years back, the outlier being someone who went straight into working as a software engineer.
"150k, wow!" ..the outlier being someone who went straight into working as a software engineer. "...oh. *sigh* "
$60-$70k in NYC. Probably more in CA, less elsewhere. As NS says, being from the GSD doesn't make you special, although it is a direct pipeline to the most prestigious (sometimes toxic?) LA firms.
Also see how others in the field are paid (we don't have that fancy AIA calculator and have to resort to google sheets):
These are some of the reported salaries from Landscape Architects that went to graduate school at Harvard GSD, from Archinect's Architecture Salary Poll...
