Transferring my LCSW/ LICSW social work License to NY

Hi social workersss! I'm currently based in MA (currently LCSW) and a month away from sitting for my LICSW test. I'm looking into options for moving to New York City to move, change of pace, etc.. and realizing the switch in licensure may be difficult. I've thought also about NJ licensure for a proximity thing to help out, but wanted to see if anyone has any advice/ previously done this. (travel social work ideas welcome as well!!!)
