Ep 02 - Rachel Waters on what happens AFTER you have achieved your “Dream Legal Career” Rose Tinted Law The Podcast

- Careers
This episode is a juicy one. It was recorded at the end of Melbourne’s 1000th lockdown in 2021 at a time when we were particularly vulnerable, and it is the reason why I created this podcast.
Rachel Waters is very much a woman after my own heart, and indeed we have a lot in common.
Rachel studied Law/Arts at La Trobe Uni from 2007 – 2011, exactly the same as me. While we have mutual friends and knew of each other, we never had our own friendship.
Our paths crossed again last year at an industry event, and we immediately clicked. In catching up on what we had been doing the last 10 years we realised we had a lot in common. She had also lived and worked in London and packed a lot of different things into her career. She had been a judge’s associate, had gone to the Vic Bar, and was now in a policy role at the County Court.
And the other reason we immediately clicked at that event is that our conversation got really deep / really quickly.
She started telling me about the good, the bad, the highs and the lows and everything in between. She told me about how she achieved her dream of becoming a criminal barrister very early on in her career but then struggled when life at the Bar was different to how she had imagined. I had goosebumps and immediately knew that I was making new friend.
In this honest conversation Rachel shares with us:
- Her unique career path;
- Whether the legal industry is about what you know or who you know;
- The art of creating your own luck;
- What happens when you dream job is not exactly as perfect as you envisaged;
- How to stay true to your unique career journey.
I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.
Your host,
Rose :-)
