32-33yrs old: worked in private tech MNC for 2yr. Very good experience and regret leaving. Hand itchy apply back public.
34yr old: rejoined public service on 2yrs contract. Worked for 1yr; Got a default C. Main reason was Dir didn’t liked me, and I transferred to another statboard
35yr old: joined another statboard and now been here for close to 1year. Just received news I got a C again. I’m still here; not emplaced yet. As it’s nearing 1yr mark, I will know soon? Or should I wait?

MX11
In total, 5.5yrs of private sector, and 3yrs in public sector.

Is my career trajectory in public service gone? Am I way better back in private?

3 Cs. Max out at 11A. Unlikely to see MX10. Head back to private if you got skills.

you serve 3 yrs in public service in 3 different organisations.

that's an average of 1 year at each organisation. of course you are getting a default C, because you are new to each role.

general rule, one only start contributing after the 1 or 2 year mark, because you are on a learning curve these 1 to 2 years.

Your next promotion will put you at MX11A. Fewer ppl reach this level. You will need your boss to support you; if by natural promotion order, most will get it near retirement. MX10 is middle or senior management. Since you are job hopping often even at stat board, hard for you to obtain experience to promote you to the next level, compared with the existing staff. You will need to stand out.

you do seem quite capable, just limited by how the public service grades performance.

are you near the salary ceiling for MX11?

Not a general rule. There are people that have gotten Bs non-stop after their first default C. Just whether your boss wanna fight for you or not.

When you spend 1 year on average at 3 different places, you are a new joiner 3 times in 3 years

It is difficult to justify a B for a new joiner, because you are supposedly on a learning curve

And before your 2nd or 3 yr where you could gotten something better, you leave for another place

And rinse and repeat.

Sorry to put it bluntly, but this is job hopping
