[QUOTE="Lawlawland, post: 237588, member: 42462"] Anticipating this is for everyone on the same boat: 1. I have two years to secure a visa sponsorship. My hunt is not just for a TC but for a stable work sponsorship. If TC plans fails I think having a SQE qualification would help me reach out to mid tier and small firms that may not sponsor for SQE but can take me in for traineeship. 2. Opens doors for me in the Dubai and Singapore market (I also have language advantages there). So I can spread my focus even if London and UK market fails me. 3. Getting it out of the way as early as possible is honestly so relaxing, I don't want to be anxious about it down the lane. I feel like I have the time and the right mindset now, and shall put it for good use. 4. Having at least SQE 1 done by next cycle shall helo me look good for firms that wants their trainees to start early (like GD). Trying to tap into that. 5. I'm getting really old😭, I don't think I wanna be doing this in my laste 20s. So getting it out of my way by the mid-20s🤣. [/QUOTE]
