I moved to Australia for my partner and have been working freelance for mostly clients from back home in the UK. It's been incredibly hard to find friends or like-minded people. I work in the legal services industry and it looks like there are very few people here in Perth pursuing that career. Where can I socialize and mingle with people in their 30-40s out here? Doesn't have to be people in law.

As a lwayer myself, I understand how challenging it can be to build a social network when you’re new to the country, especially in a city like Perth where the legal community might feel smaller or less visible. There aren't any large formal legal networking events regularly, so I’d suggest exploring broader professional groups like local business clubs, industry meetups, or even community organizations where people in that age group gather. Perth’s coworking spaces or workshops attract diverse professionals too, and that can be great for mingling beyond just law. Also, consider joining hobby or interest-based groups. That can be an excellent way to meet like-minded people outside work circles and build genuine friendships over time.

Honestly just aim to find people you tolerate at first, keep.an open mind,,. Australians are not the friendliest bunch.

Recruiter for big tech company reached out on LinkedIn about a role. I asked about ballpark compensation numbers and they said they’re only comfortable sharing on a live call. Replied that I often receive LinkedIn offers for roles of paycuts around 30-50% so I want to make sure we’re in the same rough range. Recruiter again said she would only share via live call. Is this a red flag?
