From my understanding this is equivalent to an M/SM pay grade in other ministries?

If I were to switch agencies would I be given SM? Even though I only have 1 YOE or how would it work?

Would it be easier to change agency if I want to at least be middle management (I'm still new but just thinking in future)? As my current agency is flat and hard to get into middle management roles.
