[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 92841, member: 16764"] Hi [USER=17355]@TCinpipeline[/USER], you have received some great advice already but I wanted to add that I personally know over five future trainees in their 30s and 40s! This is simply anecdotal but these people are all heading to elite US firms with small intakes in London and so it is possible that these firms look for people with more life experience who will settle into the work environment more quickly. Also, I know someone who completed her LPC in 2015 - 2016 and got her TC offer a few months ago. Her advice for people in the same boat is that it is definitely possible but prepare for questions on why you have not yet got a training contract. As long as you prepare well for such a question by offering your authentic motivations for why you are pursuing a TC at this point in your life, then I think that your experiences can be a plus as they will be interesting and unique :) [/QUOTE]
