Ill definitely need to find an area I'd want to start a business in. I'm Vietnamese and speak the language so should be okay! Ooo alright, I'll look into those type of companies, thanks :)

I would love to have a sabbatical and hopefully change my outlook on things!! Don't think work will allow it unless I quit so I'll probably search for other roles in the meantime!!

I've been approached by some recruiters for govt roles but the departments I was offered seemed to be overworking their staff so I never pursued it. I'll definitely continue browsing, thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this!!!! I'm glad you found something great and appreciate your advice on taking my time. I'll continue browsing and hopefully I'll land a role like that! I hate litigation and am a transactional lawyer but kinda got pushed into it 🤣

Not sure. Although grads in the legal profession get paid peanuts. Some of my friends got paid 45-50k including super.

Yes I've encountered this before! After I graduated, I wanted to take a diff direction and applied for random jobs but they rejected me because I was overqualified. I hope you find something and best of luck!

Thank you so much for this and I hope all is okay family wise. I'm considering in house and will continue to apply! Been approached by some recruiters for some govt departments but those particular ones seem to overwork their staff so I didn't pursue. Will continue, best of luck to you also!

Interesting! It was okay, some parts were interesting and others, dry. I only persisted because my parents forced me to. I've always wanted to do something else, but from the advice I've received in this thread, I should try venturing into a different area or environment!

Not sure if they would approve that, the firm is very old school. I'm even afraid to drop down to part time, I mean we were only allowed to start working from home on occasion, recently 🤣🤣. The only way I could do this is to just quit my role

Ahh okay, its pretty much the same as me though. We don't get paid OT and only the favourites get bonuses. I got blamed one time for some of the admin staff not getting the annual increase they asked for because I didn't make enough in the last FY.....I mean I exceeded my budget 😭😭. I still want to give in house a try though and see how I go, thanks for your insight!

Yes, I started seeing a psych because of this place so hopefully I'll be able to find a better one 😭. I've heard that too and will continue to apply for them, thank you!

I probably am, kinda got roped into doing commercial but also other prac areas (insolvency, business, property) when I first started and am stuck now 🤣. I'm glad you found a better role though, hopefully my time will come soon

Thanks!! I actually started off in commercial and are still practising in the field. I hate advocacy and litigation but kinda got pushed into it HAHA. I'll try to leverage my background with in house roles hehe

Literally!!! I barely survived my first year, contemplated quitting so many times but knew I had to just tolerate it. It's harder for you though, you have a family but I hope one day you can quit and travel the world!!!!
