[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 217345, member: 40237"] Hi! I think the impact of having passed the SQE really depends on the jurisdiction. For international offices (e.g. the Middle East), it can be an advantage or even a requirement, since those offices often expect incoming trainees to be qualified or close to qualification. For London applications, however, I don’t think it makes a difference either way. Firms design their recruitment processes on the assumption that most applicants won’t have taken the SQE yet. To keep things fair, they aren’t going to favour or disadvantage candidates based on that. What will carry much more weight are your academics, work experience, and the quality of your application. If anything, having passed the SQE might demonstrate commitment and proactivity in competency questions, but it’s not something that will tip the balance. [/QUOTE]
