I got arrested for a DUI but haven‘t been convicted and *may be* facing a license suspension, if I were to move to another state prior to the suspension (If I were to get one at all) . what would happen?
In California, You do not have to be convicted of a DUI for your in state license to be suspended. Merely failing to contact DMV within 10 days of your arrest usually triggers an automatic suspension, regardless of your status in court. After that California will put a DMV hold on your license which, in theory, would prohibit you from obtaining an out of state license. I say in theory because although many states are hooked up to California DMV, some states are not. This will eventually change as each system gets updated. If you get a DUI in California and have this hold due to DMV suspension which IS in fact prohibiting you from obtaining an out of state license, you'll have to serve out your mandatory suspension then get a a 1650 waiver which will then terminate your California Drivers License and then allow you to apply for a license out of state.

You haven't been convicted yet because you still have to go to court. If you were to move you are still obligated to go to court, if you dont they will put out a warrant for your arrest
All states are exceedingly strict with DUI's and the suspension will carry for the finished 2 years before you may attempt to get yet another license. As some distance a getting a job it would count on what form of employment you're searching for. something to do with using I heavily doubt will ensue.
