Sorry, hijack this thread as I am not comfortable starting one with my account. This seems the closest to the topic so I'll reply as unregistered here.

Does anyone have experience moving from one Ministry to another, particularly as fresh hire (i.e. not scholars/MA rotation)? Inter-ministry transfers please share your experience too.

Let's say I am currently in Ministry A. If I apply for Ministry B, will the HR in Ministry B inform the HR in Ministry A?

Ministry A pays better than Ministry B. But Ministry B has an interesting opening with more supervisory responsibilities, so I reckon that would be better for my career advancement, if I get it. So I would like to try but don't wish to jeopardise anything with my current Ministry.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
