Congrats!

I took CT and MA in February and passed both. If everything works out I'll never have to take another bar exam.

I was joking with my parents that maybe I'd head out to Cali now to give that one a shot...ha...but i'm with you...i hope to God I can avoid doing any more of them...

Are they typically reciprocal or do you have to take one for every state you're practicing/living in?

And the RA (Registered Architect)! I'm filing in another state because I can get registered there easier than NY, and then filing reciprocity right away. I'll never practice in AZ!

Thanks! Glad to be done and I'll have admission in two states by the end of June. My attorney job starts as soon as I get sworn in, so that's exciting as well.

So for the RA license, you have instant reciprocity? That's a great perk.

Well, that answers one question I had asked in a PM. Congrats!! You worked hard for it.

I'll still have to wait the minimum number of years worked before NY grants the license; I started the registration process in another state so I could start taking the exams (there are 7 total) now, while I don't have a ton of other obligations. Once I'm done with them and get the license in AZ, I just have to cool my jets until NY accepts the results.

I see a lot of co-workers my age and older start the process, but then they have kids or get married or their parents get sick, and it derails them for a while. I figured it was easiest for me to knock them out while I can still do all-nighters.

A ton of engineers in my office have taken the SE 5 and 6 times.

As you mentioned you're an RA...I'm actually starting to study for the AREs now because my gf is an Architect and needs some help focusing and I'm pretty good at the vignettes so I figured I could help her out. I think they're kind of fun!
