[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 12420, member: 2672"] 1) No - no recruiter separates academics by geographical location within the UK. At worst they may question why you want a career in London when you have spent time a lot of time outside of it, but that’s for you to persuade them in your motivational answers but that might be fairly obvious/straight forward if London is your home town. 2) I think you should focus application on where you want to work. 3) No - but again, like question 1) you need to explain why you want to work in a different type of firm. 4) No - the average age of someone qualifying is 29.5 years old, so it sounds like you will be pretty aligned to that average. Your biggest issue here is that you will have 2-3 years out. The international and US firms you are aiming for are predominately recruiting for 2022 intakes. There is a massive question for recruiters as to whether it is worthwhile you waiting for that to happen when you could qualify within that period elsewhere. This is even more complicated with the SQE coming in - most people going into 2022 intakes will be taking the SQE route. [/QUOTE]
