Career Sh!t: A letter from "Searching for a Unicorn 🦄"

This is the second instalment of the show's deep dive into everything building and sustaining a legal career. We're calling it "Career Sh!t"—but you can call it whatever will get you a raise.

Featuring the very excellent expertise of our two resident career advice besties:

• • ⁠⁠Lara Wentworth⁠, Director + Co-founder, Coaching Advocates; Certified Performance and Mental Fitness Coach, and Master Practitioner (Neuro Linguistic Programming); and
  • ⁠⁠Olamide "Olly" Kowalik⁠⁠, Special Counsel, Revolution Law, + Co-Creator and Co-host, Tilé and Olly Meets Podcast.

This week we answer another letter from one of our listeners, "Searching for a Unicorn"; a 40-something-year-old new grad wrestling with having to be a "junior" again—despite the 20 years' experience she brings from her previous industry. Not to mention the absence of part-time/flexible roles for juniors! What's up with that?!

And, as always, we also enjoy forcing an inimitable Australian legal ethics legend—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stafford Shepherd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—to squeeze his sage ethical wizardry into a strict one-minute segment. Whether you're searching for a unicorn or not; you're sure to benefit from the particularly magical advice he shares today 🦄
