In the past the road to GEO5 was smooth as silk. Nowdays if you only 'meet expectations', get C grade every year, and your CEP is at GEO5, you can be stuck at GEO3 for 5 to 7 years before being promoted to GEO4. By then, you would be almost 7 to 9 years in service already.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing as "on track to be promoted" for ordinary performers these days. You gotta hustle super hard just to be promoted decently quickly.

promotion for farmers is just getting harder.
a GEO 3 can be happy to hit the ceiling at 6.2k with 'meet the expectations' kind of minimal/basic standard, then tuition to earn at least an additional 2 to 3k per month. tuition rates are also increasing.
being a school teacher provides the fundamental stability or certainty. switching to full time tuition also carries risk without a good solid base of tutee numbers.
