Complex career decisions

Why do you need independent career guidance?

The legal sector now offers many more jobs and career paths, creating more opportunities – but also adding complexity to your career planning.

Most legal professionals have two main sources of career planning support: from within their organisation – or from recruiters, often with specific roles to fill. This creates a challenge. Who is unbiased and wholly on your side? Where can you find objective, and strategic career guidance? PQE solves these challenges, giving you the information and tools to let you be in charge, and answer some key questions:

  • What should my next career step be?
  • How do I align my career with my personal aspirations?
  • Should I stay or move to a new role?
  • Where can I find objective advice and data to support my decisions?
