I literally agree with what FS said. While i am thinking about doing the SQE later. I can talk to you about my experience juggling as a paralegal and LLM Student.I worked as a paralegal this year in Paris and studied for my UK LLM both full-time and at the same time. While i still achieved a distinction and this demonstrates that it is achievable, i ended up doing a huge burnout. For me, the advantage was the fact that the LLM was online, therefore i did not have to attend the class and watched the replay either during lunchtimes or when i got home. Juggling between both requires a lot of organisation and preparation (especially when you are working in a US firm). As a result, would advise you to talk about this with your employer and see if he will be happy to change your working times or be more flexible but also to try to make a timeline in order to see how you will be organised.
