[QUOTE="anxiouslawyer, post: 95297, member: 11127"] Hi everyone! Super pleased to say that after completing my winter vac scheme, I have been offered a TC at a firm that I really like! I have (very surprisingly) been offered TC start dates in 2023, I have the option of either March or September. The thing that makes this choice difficult for me is that if I choose the March intake I will be in the firm's last batch of LPC trainees and would start the Accelerated LPC in July 2022. Whereas if I go for September then I'd be doing the SQE as part of the firm's City Consortium programme with BPP, and would start the SQE prep in September 2022. I've attended a couple of events discussing LPC vs SQE and the LPC seems like it would be "easier", in terms of the assessment style and the fact that I wouldn't need to revise my old core law modules again, which I would have to do for the SQE 1. My TC terms have specified that all modules are to be passed at the first attempt. I am however hesitating on picking the earlier start date as I have also been offered a policy role with the Civil Service to start in January, in a department that is relevant to an area of law that is of great interest to me. It's a great opportunity that I'm keen to take on before starting my law course / TC. If I go for the earlier March 2023 intake I don't think it's really worth accepting the role as it would mean I only have about 6 months in it, which seems a bit too short to be worth it. Any thoughts / advice would be greatly appreciated :) [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] keen to hear your thoughts as well! [/QUOTE]
