I think that i eventually want to become a lawyer, and would love to work in a magic circle firm. I'm currently in my final year of university.
I didn't apply for any training contracts or vacation schemes this application cycle because I was planning on taking a gap year after university. This has changed because I have been offered a role as a management consultant at one of the big companies.
I'm thinking that I could do a few years as a consultant, and then apply for law vacation schemes/training contracts if i decide to still go down this path, as I assume the consultancy experience might make me stand out? Will I have a greater chance of securing a training contract, especially with a big firm, if I have previous experience in consultancy? Does this sounds like a viable plan?
