[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 66682, member: 2672"] There isn't really a straight forward answer to this unfortunately. It is very complicated and there are multiple considerations to think about that are going to be different for each candidate. My general advice is probably not to self-fund either in the first instance until you have secured a TC, unless the firms you are looking to apply to don't sponsor. In the first instance it is probably worthwhile holding off self-funding until you know which route you will take with the firm. That is generally my advice in a normal year but it seems even more appropriate for 2021 given the transition and also that the LPC intake for 2022 will still be very much viable (as the GDL'ers will still be taking that route until 2022). If you are going to self fund and the money isn't an issue, then generally my advice is go for the LPC purely because it exempts you for SQE stage 1 (but SQE stage 1 does not exempt you from the LPC).
