Finding first Legal job in NSW

[Kashif]

Hello Everyone,

i am moving to Sydney as i have granted PR under 271311 Solicitor. I am UK qualified Solicitor, an Advocate of High Court in Pakistan and recently got admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in NSW. I have over 10 years experience in Corporate & commercial, Banking and Family Law in commonwealth Jurisdictions. 

My question is whether the firms in Sydney will consider my work experience and offer me reasonable job or do i need to start with a junior role?? And if i am offered a junior/graduate role would it be enough to look after a family of 4. 

Lastly, i was also considering doing a graduate diploma in a particular field order to kick start my professional career in Sydney, can anyone tell which area should i focus on?

Thanks in advance.
