[QUOTE="Fuelled By Caffeine, post: 145918, member: 8936"] I just wanted to echo the advice that Jake gave above, especially regarding age. I am 28 and have only now just gotten a TC offer – so I can definitely empathise with how dispiriting it can be. It can be very easy to see the successes of those who have broken into a legal career and made it look easy (especially when they are younger than you) and conclude that the recruitment process is just a lot easier to crack when you are in your undergraduate because you have the time and resources that your university provides. I found this community and the services offered by the TCLA to be really useful when I felt like I was lacking support! Also, for what it is worth, the Law Society did a survey on entry trends in 2021 which showed that the average age of a solicitor finishing their training is just under 30, so I think applicants in their mid-late twenties are becoming the norm.
