[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 211770, member: 2672"] Most firms will expect you to do the SQE in the 12 months before starting your TC. Some may allow you to do it earlier if you have spare time between your offer and your TC starting though. I would not advise working full-time while doing the SQE unless it was a highly flexible job in terms of hours and the time off you can get. Many firms are paying you a tax free maintenance grant to ensure you don't have to work full-time during this period. Many firms will allow you to work part-time though. We have heard of a couple of firms that don't allow you to work at all, because they want you to focus on your studies, but I would say working part-time during your SQE is possible and manageable (many of our past and present TCLA team have done exactly this).
