Hi,

I am a Malaysian student soon to complete my Bar Practice course in the UK this year and it's not easy to find a (legal related)job let alone a pupillage here. I am planning to try my luck in Australia as I have some of my family members residing there. I like to know what are the prospects and advice of working in Australia as a fresh UK graduate barrister including visas and application aspects.
I do not mind working as a paralegal to begin with as I have little to none practicing experience of Australian Law.

Oh yesss, employment prospects with a UK Law degree + Masters + fresh Bar creds can be suuuper competitive 😅⚖️. Tonsa paths—private practice, academia, research… TBH tho, if ur thinkin long-term & wanna actually scope out academic gigs or teaching/research opps, AcademicJobs.com is mad clutch 💻📚.

You can filter by field, insti type, and get alerts for post-docs, lectureships, research positions… basically all the juicy opps that make the academic grind wayyy less cray while still leveling up ur career hustle. 🙌✨
