[QUOTE="Jooooopp7, post: 70302, member: 3912"] Hi there! I was wanting to get some advice and other people's perspectives on my options after the GDL which I will be finishing in April this year. I know that the SQE is being introduced which I feel complicates things as I now feel pressure to start the LPC but obviously this is v expensive and I have yet to even gain a vac scheme let alone a TC (I'm still applying to but really losing hope at this point) Would a year out in between the GDL and LPC be okay considering that firms will want to start introducing the SQE v soon? I was also wondering whether applications during the LPC is doable? I understand the course in even more intense than the GDL and I've already found it difficult to balance studies and applications, prep for interviews etc so really not sure if I would be sacrificing the quality of either of those during the LPC?? I've noticed a lot of paralegal/legal assistant jobs that are advertised seem to want previous experience but unsure of where to get this in the first place - would it be worth sending speculative applications to local firms? And generally, any advice on how to fill my summer/time productively that would help applications for between now and the LPC/whatever I end up doing?? Just wondering what others who are in a similar position are thinking of doing?? Thanks so much for the help!! [/QUOTE]
