[QUOTE="RANDOTRON, post: 162224, member: 16724"] Hi there! Just going to preface this by saying you do not need legal experience to apply for and secure a VS or TC. I wouldn't worry too much about your grades because firms focusing primarily on your undergraduate and you've got a first. Firms focus more on what you write in your application, and I think you've got an interesting story to tell about how you arrived at law. I think your experiences gives you a leg up against other candidates, especially in more business-oriented exercises (like case-studies and interviews). The fact that your work experience is mostly from outside the UK shouldn't be an issue. As for whether it's reasonable or not to make the career change, only you can answer that. It's certainly not easy to get a TC but I imagine it wasn't easy to break into investment banking either, and nothing worth having comes easy. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
