[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 227679, member: 42112"] Hi! I'm not overly familiar with Fieldfisher's process, but thought I'd offer my thoughts! Since the Pathways to Practice insight scheme is also a route to their TC, the decision comes down to which application gives you the strongest positioning. In relation to the Pathways to Practice scheme, given your background, this scheme is tailored to you. The selection pool is usually smaller and the process is designed to support candidates from diverse or non-traditional backgrounds. That can make your application more competitive than the main TC stream. However, if your TC application showcases stronger examples, more concrete experience, and aligns with the competencies they value in trainees, that's still a valid route - I'd just keep in mind that the pool is much larger. From what you have described, the Pathways application sounds like it is more personal and authentic, while the TC version sounds more traditional. Authenticity and tailored applications can carry significant weight, so I'd keep that in mind when deciding which path to choose. As the Pathways to Practice scheme still offers opportunities to be considered for a TC and is designed for candidates with your background, choosing it could increase your chances of progressing. If both lead to the same ultimate outcome, and one is tailored to your profile and likely gives you a more supportive environment, I'd personally keep the Pathways to Practice application active. However, I think choosing either can work for you! Hope that helps, and I wish you the best of luck with whichever route you choose :) [/QUOTE]
