[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 144795, member: 2672"] Enjoy doing something else before your TC. The vast majority of lawyers I know would look to have been able to go back and be in your position and start a year later and do something that was of interest to them. You could go and do something that makes you feel you have got an “achievement” in your locker as a trainee. You are still going to be younger than the average trainee by the time you start your TC. A year when you are 25 seems a decent amount of time. A year by the time you’re 35 will feel like 3 months, especially when you are a lawyer. You’ve potentially got 40+ years of this job, assuming you stick to doing it. Waiting an extra year to get there is no time at all really in the grand scheme of things. In short, this is a massive opportunity you are unlikely to ever have again rather than a hindrance. [/QUOTE]
