[QUOTE="mkk1999, post: 151325, member: 31471"] Hi all, I am currently a Trainee Solicitor at a high street law firm. I started out as a paralegal in 2022 within residential property and secured the Training Contract in March 2023. I have been working in residential property for a year now and I have come to the realisation that it really is not for me. I am dissatisfied with the work and the management, as well as the training and supervision. It has been quite a stressful environment and I won't divulge into the details, but I was recently told I can't move seats just yet as they require me in the department. I decided to explore my options as I understand qualifying in Conveyancing and a high street firm limits my future possibilities if I want to change practice areas. For context, I graduated from a Russell Group University with a high 2:1 and went on to achieve the LPC in 2021. I am now considering leaving the TC to explore property in a commercial setting. I have an interview lined up for a Paralegal Real Estate Role at a global law firm that is highly regarded. The only issue is that I would need to do the SQE 2, but potentially qualify sooner as I can count my previous paralegal work as QWE. I've also done the PSC. I am having a hard time trying to decide what is best for me and was wondering if anyone had some advice? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
