    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I always hear about career-changers coming into law, but I rarely hear about those in the legal profession leaving law. What I do hear is PQE+ lawyers moving in-house. I was wondering... is it common for qualified lawyers to career change aswell? does that happen often? feels quite rare.
