For the former, securing employment at a decent mid size firm post-re-examination seems difficult, and even if possible, the current outlook in the legal industry isn’t very bright - dismal salary generally if not in a decent firm.
For the latter, how common is this? How receptive are employers generally to law grads with zero internship experience outside the legal industry? What paths are available? MA programmes or consulting?
For context, I’m not from a degree mill and did decently well in law school. Also, even if I were to pass part b, I’m very inclined to consider alternative routes, not least because I’m not sure if I can see myself doing legal work for the next 30-40 years.

You're on the right track my friend. Law is for losers who think it's a good trade to sacrifice their youth, time, happiness and health in return for a higher than average slave wage. Most of what they earn is paid back anyway in the future in the form of increased healthcare costs, shortened lifespans and alimonies (if they're male). Just see for yourself how toxic this thread is and you can guess what your future will be like in the legal industry.
Gun for those bank or MNC MA programmes and consultancy (you better start prepping for case interviews) if you wish. The world's your oyster.
