I'm barred in Indiana (1 YOE) and moving to D.C. for my partner’s job. Federal roles(usajobs/etc..) only require any state bar, but a recruiter noted that Federal Agency/ D.C. Court jobs eventually demand local admission. (is that true?)

I lack the UBE score to waive in and refuse to retake the exam.

How can I realistically work as an attorney in D.C. without waiving in?

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
