FE1s for Paralegal / Legal Exec positions

I will be returning to Ireland before the end of the year having lived abroad for 3 years. I currently have 4 FE1s done and have no training contract secured. I haven't started applying yet as I have been doing 1 or 2 exams per sitting for the past 3 sittings and I did not want to put myself under time pressure for fear of failing. I will be applying in this next coming round.

Given the lack of training contract, I will need to apply for a paralegal/ legal exec role when I land home which I will likely leave once I get a TC somewhere. I was wondering whether anyone has any experience in a similar situation? I was pondering when I am applying to these gigs, should I be telling them that I have done some FE1s and plan to do PPC in the future? If I was the recruiter, why would I hire someone that will likely leave within a year anyway. But also I feel like saying that I have 4 FE1s done likely paints me in a good light capability wise. I have 3 years of senior paralegal experience in corporate litigation so I don't think its vital for me to mention the FE1s.

What do you think?

How do we feel about this? I’d be the team trading Bucky away.

I currently have a mid team and 5 2028 1st round picks. I traded my 2027 1st and Worthy for Jameson Williams and Bucky yesterday in the hopes that these two guys would be in their prime by 2028.

Are there many good prospects going in the 2nd round this year? I already have the 2.04.

I’m not too high on Bucky as I think his size limits his durability but that remains to be seen, potentially last year was an outlier.
