Any Hogan Lovells news as of late?
Congrats! Can I kindly ask what location / sqe or TC this was for - thank you!Kennedys final Partner interview!!! anyone has this too or knows anything about it too please reach out as I'm not sure what to expect.
Ooooh thank you for this. I think more than a part-time arrangement, what I would ideally like is something remote. Very useful to know BARBRI is a remote online course. I suppose if I get enrolled onto a course, I could always check with the firm closer to timeIf you have enough time before your TC starting then part time might be an option where firms do not have bespoke SQE prep courses.
I would expect those firms who use BARBRI would be flexible particularly with location as it’s effectively an online course.
I’d also say the higher the maintenance grant, the more likely there won’t be flexibility with location as that grant is calculated on the basis of you living in the location of their preferred supplier.
Firms may consider personal circumstances on a case by case basis - but I think it would need to be something more substantial than just wanting to be out of the U.K. (and that could raise a bit of a red flag to them too).
oh okay thanksThe holding email was for still handing out VIs just in case there's any confusion there![]()

written exercise on the 6thHey, sorry to ask this again, but did u hear back for your AC on the 6th or your WE was on the 6th? I did my WE on the 6th too, so I’m wondering if it’s a PFO
Aiming this shot at Reed Smith (I'm still very salty)Whoever decided that VI’s were a good thing to add to the graduate recruit process needs to seriously go outside and touch some f****ng grass imo. Worst idea to have ever been thought of smh. 🤦🏽♂️😂
Oh okk thanks, that means I am coooked cool cool cool cool cool.written exercise on the 6th
Point 2: The issue is QWE is that you can get it signed off and submitted to the SQE at any time, so what you say you would do and what you actually might do could be two different things. But generally, there will be some benefits of not getting QWE signed off before starting a TC - the main one is you will be seen as less of a flight risk. It is feasible that someone could do 12 months of a TC, use another 12 months experience elsewhere and then leave half way through the TC if they have secured an NQ role elsewhere. That is less likely to happen when someone is not qualified, although not impossible now people can move from firm to firm as a trainee too.Hi @Jessica Booker really appreciate this, thanks for the insight.
On point 2 - That makes sense from the firm's perspective, they wouldn't want their TC undermined in that sense. What if for instance, you don't submit previous experiences as QWE to avoid the firm's being put off by you and to therefore become more attractive to them? Most firms I have spoken to said they would just disregard the previous experiences I had as the 2-year TC programme is what they would use to sign off the QWE on their end. I guess most of what I'm saying, though, is in relation to how I would be viewed as a candidate regarding this, rather than the mechanics of how QWE actually works/what the firm's sign off as QWE.
On point 3 - So in that sense would that be a negative of the SQE, generally speaking, if you don't secure a TC and decide to qualify via previous experiences for QWE? Would it not be a struggle to get your foot in the NQ market as a fresh SQE graduate with little experience of the same level, complexity, standard and variety as other people I'll be competing with (people with NQ-level type experience and people like myself) no?
