You can still go to HQ through Open Posting, and build your networks while there. You can still go to a different school where the environment better recognises and supports your aspirations, and has vacancies for you to move up the ladder. It's not healthy to keep comparing to others who have scholar privileges or given a red carpet to the fast track - you can't change it anyway. The system is not 100% fair, and it can never possibly be, but it is kind to people who are kind to themselves.
Not forgetting those who deprive deserving officers of a hq position, shifted out from schools not because of their suitability but to avoid controversy in a school setting arising from their behaviour, "inclinations", or transgressions. Very sad to see a system that is so forgiving and generous to the undeserving, but takes genuinely hardworking and, perhaps, under-the-radar officers for granted.
