I wouldn’t say it is common but enough people do it. I don’t really agree with doing it from a moral standpoint as it will limit and reduce the number of TCs available to people, but at the same time I understand people have to have a level of being selfish when it comes to their future career too.The biggest thing to point out os when they do they only do so up to the point they haven’t received any financial support from the firm nor started the onboarding process for the GDL/LPC/SQE.I have only heard of a handful of people who took this approach after some form of support was given and for all of them it got exceptionally messy. When you do it at that stage, you are effectively planning to have to pay for whatever you have committed to with the firm yourself. You will most likely have to pay back the original firm and your new firm may not be able to reimburse you for that expense.
