[QUOTE="Abii, post: 113948, member: 10322"] I'm a current LPC student, I do it part time and started in 2020 so prior to the SQE starting. I only took my place on the LPC as I got a full fee scholarship from the Law Society. I would not have self funded it. I have found in apps in this cycle that many firms would now requite me to to do SQE 2 to begin a 2024 TC. I am a current paralegal and got my first London based commercial law paralegal role without the LPC with 2.1 non RG LLB. I would work in your position, many firms will fund the SQE but not necessarily retrospectively so you may end up spending money you didn't have to, especially as you reached AC this cycle so you clearly have strong potential to get a TC. Also working in a business role will hugely help your real world commercial awareness and working as a paralegal will give you a huge amount of transferable skills and insight into the work - whether that be by being in a firm and seeing how they really work or in-house and seeing what legal work clients require from law firms and working with them.
