Hi colleagues, let me be upfront. If you know your CEP and it is not as high as you think, for example, you are at ST level. It means you will be an ST after about 28 to 30 years in service. Will you work like a dog for the school in the starting few years at least? Giving up family time, boyfriend time, neglect your child etc.

Usually, people realize that as they become stagnant despite putting in effort. Hence you see people who worry about promotion are usually the younger ones. The older ones know the game - you can work like a dog for the next few years, get Bs for PB, you will be limited by your CEP. Your GEO3 will come in at about 3 years into service, GEO4 in about 12 years, GEO5 in 20 years and finally SEO1 in 28 years. Seems like a good spread?
