So Im a law grad and completed the Bar course, and have forever been dreaming to become a barrister, until last year.

But recently I joined a paralegal job and I HATE it. It’s so micromanaged and the KPI targets just seem dystopian. On top of that, I feel so lost because I’ve spent my last couple of years building a career towards the Bar and now want to completely abandon it.

In all honesty, I want a “soft” career - something that gives me an amazing work life balance and where im not micromanaged so much. I love research and analysis and writing.

Anyone have any ideas on what direction I can take?
