Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we have ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones with us to talk about common career-related issues to think about while deciding when and where to sit for the bar exam. We also look at the best way to approach your employer in each of these scenarios.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How do employers generally think about the bar exam?
• Deciding where you should take the exam
• Is it better to have the transferable UBE score?
• What if you have concerns upfront about passing?
• Handling the situation of failing the bar
• What if you're licensed and later decide to move to a new state?
