I’m a California attorney practicing for about eight years. I’m hoping to get licensed in New York sometime in the next year. Is there any way to do that without sitting for the full UBE? Thank you in advance!

You only need to do essays I believe. Are you looking to litigate or just in-house?

I don’t think NY allows reciprocity with CA (or FL) because those states won’t let NY lawyers in without sitting for their bar exam.

See if you can waive in to DC then with that DC license waive into NY

How would I be able to confirm this avenue? The state bar websites are of almost no help 🫠 Anyone here have personal experience with this?

How bad does it look to future employers for an experienced attorney (15+ years) who is pivoting into a different practice area and looking to lateral after only having been at their current/first job for 4-5 months in the new practice area? I've been told by a recruiter that it's not a deal breaker because of my experience level. But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?
