I am looking for advice on how to migrate into the NYC public sector after working in various roles in private sector over the last 8+ years. I am recently licensed in the state of NY and started my career working in internships for a variety of agencies in San Francisco.

The civil service exam appears to only be offered once a year and it seems difficult to even meet people who work on that side of the curtain. Applying to jobs blind, without any references, seems unfruitful and I feel a little lost and discouraged. It feels like ages ago now, but I did really appreciate my start in the public sector and I miss being able to contribute public realm design in the city live in.

Any advice here is very much appreciated! Cheers
