For those who graduated from NAIT AT:

• How long did it take you to find your first job?
• Are you working in architecture/architectural technology, or did you end up going into construction, estimating, BIM, project coordination, etc.?
• What was your starting salary?
• What are you making now, and how many years of experience do you have?
• Did you find it difficult to get your first job?
• Did having Revit/AutoCAD experience or a strong portfolio make a big difference?
• Did you stay in Calgary or move somewhere else?
• If you could go back to your time at SAIT, what would you do differently to make yourself more employable?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who graduated within the last 5–10 years, since I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what the career path looks like after AT.

Any experiences—good or bad—would be really appreciated!
