[QUOTE="Lizziebot, post: 216654, member: 42084"] I graduated my non law degree with a 1st class and distinction. And a merit in GDL with one failed module that I retook. I had a previous training contract at a magic circle law firm which I lost after failing my SQE2. I failed my SQE2 following a mixture of 1) preparation/underestimating the difficulty of the exam 2) severe personal family and financial circumstances that gave me little time to prepare for the exams. I am 25 now turning 26. I was fired from my previous waitressing job and haven't been working for the past two years to focus on my exams and improving my mental health and resilience. I have had to defer some modules in my llm sqe as a result. I'm feeling a little lost right now in terms of job applications. I have been non stop applying for paralegal roles and any job right now just to build my references up again. Meanwhile I still have deferred exams and contemplating whether I should fund my SQE2 again next year amidst some debts. I do not want to give up on my city law career path. I just want to know what my chances are right now and perhaps what the best path is moving forward? Trying not to lose hope. I would be so grateful for any career advice and if anyone has been into a situation like mine would be greatly thankful for this. [/QUOTE]
