This floored me. I had once thought I was totally forgotten by NYS-OCA, as I had taken the Civil Service Exam for this position several years ago. However, I guess that they extended the time for this list due to the pandemic. Who knows? However, I received some paperwork a few weeks ago asking me if I were still interested in working for the court system - and I said yes. The last few times I received letters like this, I was never called for an interview. But this time, I was called.
Although I am living my life as Marian these days, I would take this job (if offered) as Mario, then socially transition (professionally) while on the job. If asked to start this job this year, I would not be able to take any of the cruises I want to take. However, I would likely be able to go to work and present as my authentic self, and not as Mario. And if I enjoyed this job, I'd probably stay on the job until I am 70.
What would you do if you were in my shoes (2" heels)? Would you retire with the resources I have? (My 401k plus future Social Security will give me a nice income in a couple of years.) Or, would you work to the age of 70, not being able to take the time to travel as desired. (I like the idea of working as Marian, and wish I could have done it years ago.) One way or another, it'll be a hard decision for me....
PS: I just checked one of the civil service tests I took. It's 4 years, almost to the day.
