[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 136111, member: 2672"] I don’t think there is any benefit in doing a TC unless the career you are aiming for in IB is in the legal team. You are right that people do it (and the opposite way around too), but it’s not going to help you secure a role in IB (and especially front office IB). You will start pretty much from scratch/bottom of the career ladder anyway (which is how people make the move). The vast majority of people won’t do it and will just go straight into the career. I think there are more productive ways of utilising your time, especially given you’ll have to go through the LPC or SQE. That could be further study or a job in financial services. You’ll probably have more time then to build up your skill set and knowledge for IB applications than if you were working 50-70 hours a week as a trainee. [/QUOTE]
