We're seeing this reflected in the conversations we have with lawyers across Melbourne. Salary still matters, but culture, leadership and flexibility are increasingly influencing career decisions.

Burnout has become an increasingly common conversation across the legal profession, but changing jobs isn't always the answer. Sometimes the issue is workload. Sometimes it's culture. Sometimes it's simply that what you want from your career has changed as your life has evolved.
