[QUOTE="HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh, post: 43981, member: 8899"] Thanks, all v helpful! I’ve worked directly in the legal sector previously (for around 18 months) and my job now is also indirectly legal related, so I have a good understanding of what is involved on a day-to-day basis. I’d ideally like a direct TC or a single VC leading to TC, it just seems a nightmare scenario for me to have to spend all my AL on VCs... My work situation is tricky as my contract doesn’t allow me to do paid work for other companies during my employment. I’m applying direct TC where possible, however I need to look into possible ways to square this circle with any VSs. I don’t want my current employer to know I’m applying for a career change, I’m also reasonably senior and it would be quite embarrassing if I then didn’t leave! [/QUOTE]
