The eventual plan is to be self employed. Do you think considering this job as a cushion to meet people in the field and exploring other options in the field would be good choice?

The only things is the firm has a very big name in the industry and as a freelancer it would be quite difficult to get someone that big on board.

Also my portfolio in interiors and architects is okayish not something out of this world.

I mean even if I wear myself out for 1 year and get an in depth good experience of architecture and then start out my own thing. Could that be considered a sensible choice??
