If I started off as a fresh grad with a MX 12 grade and am expected to attain MX 11 in about 4-5 years if I remain with the same agency, is there a possibility to get a new job in another civil service agency after say 3 years in my first job on a MX 11 or perhaps a better pay within the MX12 grade?
My apologies if the question sounds too basic or naive but I am willing to hear your comments anyway.
Thank you!

whenever i come across a resume of a job-hopper, a flag is raised immediately. if you think job hopping can accelerate one's promotion, you can continue waiting. most likely it will slow down progression rather than speed up. asking for external posting or secondment is always a better strategy. you get the exposure and at the same time hedge your risks by retaining the put option in the parent agency. if you do well in the new agency, you can always apply for a transfer after that.
