what you would pay them would only be more expensive if you used a service that was more expensive that what you would have used instead.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 4:37 pmHas anyone had a firm pay for their bar prep then ended up not working for that firm and had to pay them back? If so, how did that work, and was what you had to pay them much more expensive than if you had self-financed your bar prep?
May be in this situation with my firm soon hence the anon.

anyways if you're oging to another firm and the first firm demands you pay them back, you likely can get the new firm to make you whole
If they billed their firm directly, those are usually more expensive than if you just paid for whatever program yourselfjotarokujo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 4:52 pmwhat you would pay them would only be more expensive if you used a service that was more expensive that what you would have used instead.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 4:37 pmHas anyone had a firm pay for their bar prep then ended up not working for that firm and had to pay them back?

I'm actually pretty surprised by this, because you'd think they would get package deals or something.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 1:42 pmOP here - In case anyone was curious or future people find this thread: I did some light digging, and it looks like the firm plan is generally 1-1.5k more than the student plan for Barbri. So, pretty bummed about that, but what are you gonna do?
This is why many firms (or at least my firm did) get incoming associates to register as a student and pay the cost up front and then reimburse you for it right away.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 2:12 pmI'm actually pretty surprised by this, because you'd think they would get package deals or something.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 1:42 pmOP here - In case anyone was curious or future people find this thread: I did some light digging, and it looks like the firm plan is generally 1-1.5k more than the student plan for Barbri.

Right, this is a weird pricing model. Imagine it being cheaper to buy individual plastic cups than a Costco package.njdevils2626 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 3:02 pmThis is why many firms (or at least my firm did) get incoming associates to register as a student and pay the cost up front and then reimburse you for it right away.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 2:12 pmI'm actually pretty surprised by this, because you'd think they would get package deals or something.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 1:42 pmOP here - In case anyone was curious or future people find this thread: I did some light digging, and it looks like the firm plan is generally 1-1.5k more than the student plan for Barbri.
