HELP! Get Me Out of Architecture, feat. Jake Rudin and Erin Pellegrino

Show Notes

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to work in a different profession? 

Is it possible? Are the skills learnt while studying Architecture useful in other industries? Where do you even begin moving to another profession? 

I have my own ideas, however luckily for us I know just the pair who can share useful insight on this subject! 

Let's take a spin with Out of Architecture, the career consulting firm that helps you leverage the full value of your architecture education in any field.

Hello! I’m Stephen Drew, Founder of the Architecture Social—an online community and resource hub dedicated to helping professionals in Architecture, Design, Development, and Real Estate advance their careers.

What is Architecture Social?

It is hard to get a job in architecture. We exist to help you get there. Hosted by Stephen Drew, Architecture Social is the unfiltered guide to the UK Built Environment. We decode the realities of the industry, provide actionable cheat codes for your career, and bridge the communication gap between the drafting board and the boardroom.

Whether you are a Part I assistant trying to survive your first role, a Part III architect managing complex procurement, or a Practice Director fighting tight margins and adapting to the Building Safety Act, this podcast is your central node of intelligence. We strip away the aesthetic gatekeeping and toxic positivity to talk about the actual mechanics of the business.

Expect honest conversations about salary realities, portfolio strategies, hiring economics, and the true experiences of the people actively shaping the profession.

No fluff, just the reality of practice.
