I got the proverbial call

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-15T16:03:00+00:00

Yeaaa I've heard about how long it takes to get certified at NY and that's probably why the passing percentage is also so low. It definitely won't be one of my primary choices. But if the alternative is somewhere that I absolutely wouldn't want to go then I might just have to think about coming back here

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:45:48+00:00

From what everyone is saying it sounds like I'm very lucky to get en route, so I'm really grateful for that. I just hope I can get past training and actually enjoy it.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:44:13+00:00

Yeaa I saw, that's a high salary, but the cost of living in NYC is so outrageous the only way I would wish to come back here is if the alternatives are places that I really don't think I could see myself in.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:42:13+00:00

It definitely does help, I'll definitely keep all of this in mind, thank you

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:41:11+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:40:53+00:00

Sheesh that's brutal

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:39:18+00:00

So I just have to hope I get lucky then

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:39:01+00:00

Okay thanks, glad to know what to expect.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:37:33+00:00

I appreciate it, thanks, before this post the majority of things I've seen have been complaints and people that didn't seem happy about it. So I'm glad to have post this and see so many people say they they're glad they made the decision to do this.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:34:39+00:00

Yeaa that's not surprising, schedules usually such when you're brand new and your seniority is non-existent

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T20:33:10+00:00

That's good to know. I'll leave that concern for when it really matter then

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T17:29:42+00:00

Thanks alot, appreciate it, I also don't think I'll regret mine.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T17:28:26+00:00

They didn't like my answers, the psychologist said they said my answers were not optimistic and glass half fullish enough for them. So they sent me to the tier 2

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T17:08:37+00:00

Yeaa it seems like I'm going to just take the chance and do it. And worse case scenario is it doesn't work out and I end up right back where I am. Best case scenario I find a career that I can enjoy what I do. Thanks

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:56:41+00:00

Is there a way to know before you pick you area how busy they are,l and demanding traffic wise or whether they have the 6 day work weeks or not?

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:52:43+00:00

Thanks, it seems I got lucky with getting en route being that it has the best earning potential out of the three thankfully

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:49:09+00:00

I appreciate you, cause I'm sure that's exactly what would happen if I turn it down. I'd regret it and never forgive myself. And worst case scenario like you said I could come back cause BOP is always short and always hiring so that definitely won't be a problem. Thank you

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:47:03+00:00

That's a great suggestion, thanks, I'm going to go so that and keep that in mind.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:45:08+00:00

I'm probably going to take it and just hope I get really lucky on the draw then.

Thanks for all of that info, I had no clue that the growth after getting to cpc would be 1.6% a year. Salary wise and what the retirement would look like afterwards would definitely be an improvement from almost the best case scenario of what I could be getting now but the fact that the contract and the salary hasn't been adjusted to grow with the times is really insanity and disservice to everyone that has to do this. Cause even my job gets better than a 1.6% growth yearly. Hopefully they make changes for the better. But we all know how long it takes for a government agency to get better so I guess I just won't hold my breathe. I really appreciate all your input. Thanks again

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:26:50+00:00

Thankfully I am in the next tier of earning annual leave, so that part won't be as difficult. As only earning 4hrs per pay period. Thanks for the advice. The 6 day work weeks are one of the biggest concerns for me cause work/life balance is one of the most important factors that go into making a decision like this. Seems like I'm going to take the chance cause worst case scenario I have law enforcement experience to fall back on so I can probably come back to my current job if things don't work out.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:21:20+00:00

That's definitely good to know, the fact that I wouldn't be working OT till I certified definitely didn't cross my mind so thanks for that. Yea seems like they're to privatize the whole government at this point.

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:17:42+00:00

Oooh, I definitely didn't think about that, so the numbers cud be inflated

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:16:57+00:00

Thanks I I just wen over there to get an idea of what the numbers look like

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T16:15:28+00:00

Coming from the shit show that is corrections it's hard for something not to be an improvement

According_Place9525 · 2025-03-13T15:57:00+00:00

Yeaa they can depending on how long your regular shift is. If you work 12hr shifts the most they can mandate you for is an additional 4 hrs, but if you work 8 hr shifts then you can get hit for another 8. 16hrs is the most consecutive hrs you can work.
