[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 116938, member: 2672"] For a lot of firms, they will have filled their 2023 intakes and so a gap year is be likely. Some may also have already moved to the SQE, and so if you find the LPC you will only get an exemption to SQE1. There maybe some firms that could recruit earlier intakes - we saw that this cycle when a good number of firms were backfilling 2022 and 2023 intakes after cautiously recruiting in 2020. But how likely it is that firms will be recruiting for 2023 is really difficult to say. It is really going to depend on the firms you are aiming for. I’d potentially reach out to a few of them and get their views on whether self-funding an LPC course would be helpful if you were to apply to them. I suspect many might say either not to self-fund anything or go with the SQE. And I guess that would be my advice. I don’t necessarily see the benefit of rushing into self-funding the LPC or the SQE unless you are applying to firms who don’t sponsor these courses. A decision like this is not one or the other - you could choose to not self fund either course and instead work and build up your CV. [/QUOTE]
