If you’ve accepted money from the firm such as a maintenance grant or they’ve enrolled and paid for your PGDL or SQE studies you’d be in a pickle as you’ve taken money and would have to pay them back. I know people who have accepted an offer got another and reneged their first offer before starting studies paid for by the firm.
They won’t have any animosity against you as it is not a rare thing for people to withdraw from a tc. Most of the time they’ll do what A&OS is and hire more people for a specific intake. Also many firms have spaces in earlier years than advertised as people fail the sqe so they’re pushed back 6-12 months.
By arranging your future all they do is send you a contract invite you to a few Christmas and summer parties which cost them nothing. It only gets real once you start the sqe/pgdl or the tc itself.
Good luck I’m sure you’ll make the right decision for you.
goodluck to others still running the race
- see if you don't get a TC what do you actually do after uni?
