[QUOTE="flamingphilosopherdragon, post: 147154, member: 30373"] Hi all! I’m thinking about self funding the SQE at University of Law this year. Just for context: I just graduated (2023) with a 2:1 in law from an RG uni and have some prior legal work experience. Unsuccessful with TCs in second year and had some difficult family issues this year which derailed my applications. Also I am in the position to self fund my SQE without going into any debt. I’m committed to getting qualified and increasing my employability but just slightly worried about the SQE given that it is so new and the pass rate is relatively low. I’m planning to apply for direct TCs this year and if those don’t work out I’ll apply for paralegal positions next year but I’m worried that might derail my chances of obtaining a TC given QWE. I’m wondering if it would be possible to work as a paralegal for a year without counting it towards QWE whilst trying hard to secure a TC. My other option is to apply for paralegal positions and make TC applications this year. But I haven’t secured anything yet so worried about having gaps in my CV. Any advice would be much appreciated!
