Ideas for non-barred position opportunities? I’m unfortunately in a position where I need to make plans to move states approximately one year into practicing. I’ll be leaving a non-UBE state so will have to take another bar exam, but I’m afraid that when I move I’ll have trouble finding a job out of state since I can’t waive in and will not have taken the bar yet for the state I move to. Would ideally like to work at another firm, but trying to be realistic given my lack of experience.

Hey so currently I work for Thomson Reuters as an attorney editor, it would be a pretty good position for somebody to make money but also have time to live and study for a new bar exam. The position is completely remote you help enhance editorial content which means that you add things like foot notes and such, private message me and I'd be happy to give you more information and refer you if you're interested

Is it remote in US only or can it be anywhere in the world?

Do you mean non-barred positions within a law firm or anywhere else? You can always register as in-house counsel and work at a company in majority of the states even though your bar license is from a UBE state. Some states like Texas and Georgia don’t even require registration, to the best of my knowledge. If you are, however, referring to work in a law firm with no bar license, all I can think of is a job as a law clerk or paralegal, unless you want to switch up your career and do something like recruiting.

Wanted to add that a recognized certification in a niche area may also help balance out your experience, if you can afford it.

Look up that states requirements on legal services. In california you can practice under another state bar certification for 3 years if you’re doing legal services work

I’m in this exact same position and really looking for non-paralegal/clerking opportunities, as well. So far the only concrete option I’ve been looking more into is working remotely under my non-UBE state license which will probably be a pay cut but will at least pay the bills until I can take the new state bar and go from there.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
