I recently started working here over the summer. I've noticed that a lot of the ads are painted by workers, rather than just being a poster that they sprawl out. Why is this?
I was curious because Google salary estimates put NYC Social Worker pay around the $80k range, but the 2025 NYC public payroll data tells a different story. Here’s the breakdown of NYC Social Worker salaries by pay component, from the median employee to the highest earners.
Edit: Data was collected from SeeThroughNYC, and also directly linked here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Citywide-Payroll-Data-Fiscal-Year-/k397-673e/about\_data. This is official data from the NYC Office of Payroll Administration (OPA). For methodology: I used the title "Social Worker" to filter for these roles, and the related role of "School Social Worker" is not included in this graph.

Anything at all -- found a job that fit you perfectly, made a bond/friendship with a recruiter, used a platform that particularly, got an offer after months, anything?
There are a lot of discouraging posts here (for very understandable reasons), so I'd love to hear some wins, both big and small.
