Is fast-paced the Industry norm? USA

I made a post a while back related to this topic, but at the time I didn't have the context to understand how to seek specific insight.

I'm having trouble in my current postition as a Job Captain (~Junior PM) related to budget & schedules.

I have an acredited degree, all but 1 AXP category logged, have not taken any ARE's but would like to start next year. I've been in the industry for about 6 years, and trying to claw my way up to a project managment position.

I've worked in a LOT of other offices as an intern, but only 2 as a salaried employee long-term. My last long-term job felt like a perfect fit. I worked there for 4 years, but COVID slowed things down and I was laid off. I came to my current company because I thought it would be better for my career advancement.

This current company operates in a much more fast-paced manner than I am used to. I cant really tell if my inexperience as an entry level employee at the "perfect fit" job warped my perception of how typical firms opperate at the PM level, since I was just a lowly intern before that. The "perfect fit" job never disclosed the budgets and schedules, so I had no concept of how time spent impacted the project budget.

A little about me: I have perfectionistic tendencies. I enjoy thorough, clean, easy to navigate models and drawings. I am very proficient in modeling software (Revit), have been since highschool, and even tutored in it during college. I model project the way the software was intended to be used, but I try not to go to extreme levels of detail if it isn't waranted. I never model anything that isn't seen on the sheets. I dont feel like these tendencies should unreasonably effect my productivity as an employee that much, but my current boss(es) believe otherwise. I was never given feedback along those lines before this job, so I'm not sure if it's me or if this is just a bad fit.

This is the question keeping me up at night.

I've had several bad reviews that feel vaguely personal. They've started making me do daily check-in's, where every little thing I do is micromanaged. The bottom line is all that matters, every task is a race to the finish line, and the methodology for modeling comes down to a lot of model-in-place, model lines, filled regions covering up messy model breaks, poor standards that are a pain to execute throughout the life of the project. Cut as many corners, and take as many shortcuts as possible. They want me to make fake budgets and schedules for non-billable work to "practice." Practice treating every task like a marathon. It's exhausting.

They've been *slightly* happier with my output since I adopted these methods, but I just dont enjoy working like this. It's burning me out fast, and killing my enthusiasm for the field. Not to mention, I've had to work off the clock, because I'm simply not able to do the tasks they want in the way they want fast enough to stay under budget.

The "perfect fit" job was all extremely high-end custom1%'er residential. The current company does a mix of production and custom residential. I thought this would be a good opportunity to get back into the "real world," but even the custom projects are run this way.

Is this just how it is everywhere? Is it me, and I just need to get with the program if I want to become a licenced architect? Or is this not ordinary and there are places where someone like me can thrive?
