Sometimes it just seems like the grass is greener on the other side. While it sucks to have your colleagues 1-2 appointments higher than you, do bear in mind that it's just a matter of time before it's your turn. One thing I've learnt is that if you do stay long enough, your promotions will get faster and faster, even though your first 2 promotions may take years.

Overall, you may exceed your colleagues 5 years down the road. Especially if they start leaving the ministry before you do.
