Short answer is yes

Usually legal job advertisements say “barred or willing to become barred in X jurisdiction.” Giving a new hire time for that process. In big law its standard practice.

Yes. Never came up as an issue. One firm did ask about when I applied to the bar (to sense when I might be admitted)

Uh oh I applied in June

Yes, and you'll have more luck depending on how desirable your year/practice area/location. Where are you?

NYC lit - but also I kind of want to move to not big law and there it might be more of a hiccup?

Yep! Firms don't care if your application is pending as long as you passed the bar.
