[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 120223, member: 2672"] They are highly unlikely to rescind the offer - the worst that is likely to happen is that they say they can’t defer you and then you have to work out what to do. There are a few things to consider though ahead of speaking to the firm. 1) you have started the SQE course - the firm/or you could therefore find there are costs for deferring at this late stage (as the course has started). You might be able to defer, but this is completely at the course providers discretion (not even the firm’s). 2) The recruitment team maybe concerned that you are making this decision only a week into the course. They therefore may want to explore if this is about the course or more so that you have felt like this before the course started. 3) Are there any other mechanisms/solutions that could help you feel more settled but don’t rely on your deferring? I am not sure how far you are from a major city or town but could you find somewhere to work from that would make you feel a little more connected to others? For instance, I very much get my energy from others, and so despite being fairly rural now and living on my own, I have worked in co-working spaces to ensure I have social interaction with others [/QUOTE]
