Talk to both state boards. I moved states halfway through my exams and they told me to stay a candidate of the first state, pass all the exams, then transfer scores to new state.

So did you have to go back every time to test?

I believe you can take test anywhere in US and potentially outside of US as well with same old state board where you started.

Make sure you'll meet the requirements for licensure in your new state. I had to stay in my old state a bit longer than I wanted to actually get my license first because the state I moved to had stricter education requirements.

I passed 2 in 1 state, moved, passed final 2. Super simple process. Just call and get all info. Ask questions to the board.

What title for this job description?
I want to switch roles from a creative director who oversees all aspects of the company’s creative (marketing campaigns and brand building mostly; also production, performance marketing ads, product design, managing design team) to focusing 100% on building our brand, educating both customers and employees about our value prop. I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?
