[QUOTE="lawconvert, post: 241196, member: 41163"] As firms often recruit 2yrs in advance (eg 2026 vac scheme with view to start TC in 2028) what activities are recommended for final year/conversion students to do in that time? This would likely mean sitting SQE1 and 2 in 2026/27 but what about the other “gap year” of 2027/28. Is it frowned upon to look for non-legal work, or entry level roles at other firms? Sorry if a weird question, I know some people travel but money is tight so I’d need to work in that spare year [/QUOTE]
