I got an email the other day from a UK London based recruitment agency, I'm not an architect, only a Graphic Designer whom might know what to do so I'll chime in with previous salaries compared to BoE inflation:
Sheppard Robson (2005-2008)
£23,500-£29,500 with a decent pension and bonus scheme BoE in 2024 = £40,391-£48,425
Zaha Hadid Architects (2014-2015)
£36,000 = £48,000
What's that wage in 2024? Architects get paid poorly as does anyone else involved.
When architecture schools start to create graduates that can plug-into technical roles right out of college, that is when salaries for junior positions can increase. I am all in-favor of salaries for senior positions (including overall fees) increasing, but this entitlement by juniors for high salaries is ridiculous.

what's yours? what do you mean by entitlement? how would you explain that to a young person starting in the profession and how would you try and justify paying poorly? SR paid well and respected everyone involved, shared profits and so on. I'm a Graphic Designer so I appreciate that apart from a degree I may have had more value than someone who went to architecture school in terms of salary.

It's not really working is it?
