[QUOTE="Gunner07, post: 150800, member: 1249"] Thanks Jessica that is very helpful advice! I think from my observation the firm would prefer trainees but they’ve said that at present they are unlikely to be able to have a place in March. They are happy to support my development but then this will be without a role. I have applied to quite a few international firms but have not had any interviews yet with them but there’s no guarantee i’ll be offered a job there. Would you say that its probably wise in my circumstances to accept the regional offer or should I wait for a better offer? The slight issue might be how firms perceive the SQE qualification route. I have been a paralegal for more than 4 years and also did a year client secondment. I want to qualify in restructuring and insolvency and have worked in that group for 2 years now. I don't want to continue building my paralegal experience but rather want to build my associate level experience. What would be your thoughts on this? :) [/QUOTE]
