[QUOTE="Elizas, post: 150319, member: 27999"] Afternoon, all - please forgive me if this question falls into the 'stupid Q' category but... Why are the training contracts for this year's cycle not beginning until Autumn 2026 or early 2027? Once we graduate from whatever degree we are undertaking (in my case LLB but it could be GDL or LLM QLD etc) - doesn't that mean we have a full year + a few months gap? In some people's case, if they are a 3rd year law student, that means they would be waiting TWO years between graduation and TC. I understand during this time we would complete the SQE but also, we must keep paying rent and funding ourselves, without much more than the small firm stipend. That won't go far in London with rents etc. * Is it possible to speed up this process? * Isn't it possible to do the SQE in 6 months? * How do people fill this time productively other than looking for paralegal work?
