> The firm has no experience with software development, but instead of contracting out to a professional developer, they decided to hire a student.
The client & the architecture firm need a problem solved. Better to ask-- What would it take to make this happen?
One place to look is to start talking with seasoned, off-shore developers. These guys often have teams of junior devs working under them. Essentially, you would serve as the PM - supervising the work, interfacing with your firm's superiors and the client. Figure out the budget and timeline. Tell your prospective boss you've got an economical and workable solution. But you need approval to bring in sub-contractors in order to meet the aggressive delivery schedule. Stretch projects like these are stuff that build great careers.
