[QUOTE="WhiskeyCharlie, post: 181901, member: 26904"] Have you considered becoming a conflicts/compliance analyst and then applying internally via that position? Even at an entry level, the role pays mid 30s at most big city law firms, and I see more and more internal applicants coming in from this background, across many city firms that allow internal TC apps. You jump into mid 40s with just a 1-1.5 years experience as well and the salary jumps come quickly the more experience you gain. Also, the Conflicts and Compliance legal market is hot hot hot right now and quite easy to transition into a career both within law and in finance as well. Some firms are happy to pay for certification after a year or two, such as ICA. Also, this is pretty cliche, but I don't think you should let the age thing get to you...the average age of qualification is 28+ these days. I'm in a cohort starting this year, and out of ~70 trainees starting (across UK) like 1/5 are older than you are and just starting a TC...just some food for thought honestly. I started my LLB @ 28, don't give up. [/QUOTE]
