Changing Careers from Architecture to Development, ft. Dolunay Dogahan

Moving from architecture into development or project management can make sense when you still care about buildings, but want to work closer to clients, budgets, strategy and delivery.

The conversation covers:

How Dolunay moved from architecture into development and project management

Each topic opens its knowledge hub with jobs, people, courses and more episodes.
