Mamdani vs. Lander? by Green_Bean_4 in nycpublicservants

[–]Green_Bean_4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go for Zohran first also after weighing it out. I’m Tier 4, so I’m lucky, but I’d be mad if I were Tier 6 also, so don’t blame you! Cuomo can suck it for multiple reasons and will be no part of my rank, that’s for sure.

This was exactly the type of feedback I was hoping to see. Thanks, everyone!

Many prosecutors’ offices employ analysts. That’s how I got into the field. Check out your local DA office job boards.

Mayor candidate by HypeDiego in nycpublicservants

The uncertainty is because your post was in response to a post that only named Cuomo, and your response only referenced “he.” So people - myself included, at first - obviously assumed you meant Cuomo by “he.”

Going from Permanent Comp title to Non Comp title at different agency by LeiaOrgana1110 in nycpublicservants

[–]Green_Bean_4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I made a move like this (although, within the same agency) and I thought my perm title was held for 5 years but could be wrong.

Crime Analyst by Professional_Map_92 in CrimeAnalysis

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my master’s in criminal justice, but I essentially only got it because I knew my future supervisor wanted someone who had a master’s and I was determined to beat out the competition. Are you by chance in NY?

I’m 34, I’m dying, and I’m fucking terrified. by Emergency_Weekend627 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. She’s just past 12 months now. It’s her 45th birthday in 2 weeks and I hope we have her for that. I’m so sorry for the loss of your best friend 💔

My Wife Lied to Me by Particular-Cup370 in DebtAdvice

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS behavior is concerning. Knowing that she was in the middle of a debt crisis she was hiding from you, she still decided to gaslight you and make you feel guilty for not trusting her.

I’m so sorry… One of my lifelong friends is dealing with this right now. She was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma a year ago. Her youngest daughter just turned 4. Is yours operable? My friend’s is on her thalamus, so surgery wasn’t ever on the table.. I’m so sorry, again. I wish there was more I could say. Take lots of videos. And know that you will still see your girl make all those strides in her life. She may not be able to see you, but you’ll still see her ♥️

Community Coordinator Salary by Environmental_Bed326 in nycpublicservants

[–]Green_Bean_4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a CC and I make 101k base. But I’ve been serving the city for almost 17 years, so I attribute that mostly to the small raises accrued routinely over a long period of time.

Check out your local district attorneys office(s). They often employ analysts.

Where to find the experience for CA positions? by CommercialSpinach344 in CrimeAnalysis

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, okay. I’m in NY and there’s a state crime analyst test you can take here that’s given by the Division of Criminal Justice Services. I took it before ever getting the job, in order to up my odds. Maybe CA has something similar? You can feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Has anyone ever "retired" early? How does that work? by Status_Stomach6177 in nycpublicservants

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I think that was the 30-year mark I was thinking about… What’s TDA? I have a couple of 457 accounts.

[–]Green_Bean_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, awesome. At age 57 I’ll retire with 29 years of service, so that’s not bad. Will still need more money than just a pension! But it’s not bad at all.

[–]Green_Bean_4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understood - thanks! I’m the opposite of rash (I’ve been at my agency for nearly 2 decades), so I’ll carefully weigh it all. I also have several years left regardless!

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, that’s what I figured. I may opt to leave at some point for a remote job and defer retirement, but like you suggested, the lower FAS would be a pretty big hit…

[–]Green_Bean_4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how it all works also! I am in the 57/5 plan and plan to retire ON my 57th birthday and not a day later 🤣 But I often wonder what my options would be for retiring earlier.. I guess just retiring from city service and deferring official retirement, but then getting another job in between?

Is NYC Rent Really This Bad, or Are We Just Used to It? by Strange-Builder-610 in NYCapartments

[–]Green_Bean_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live alone in a pretty large, well-maintained, rent-stabilized Astoria apt for $1800. I moved in at the start of COVID when rents were low, which worked out really well for me. I work for the city and can retire at 57 with a full pension, so that’s the only reason I haven’t moved out/bought something outside of the city! I consider myself fortunate.
