Hi

I just got my Geo4 this time round. Female, finishing up my 7th year. In my second school.

Would like to know if this is slow, average or quite fast progression? Thanks.

I am basing this on information shared by others on this forum about their own progression, as well as my own personal experience.

May I know if anyone can share details about FLP? I understand that there is an extra "allowance" of sorts, and also additional projects to do.

I know of a colleague in FLP. Not sure if she received extra allowance. But she was given a lot more opportunities and she also performed well. Appointed HOD since GEO3. If you are talking about that responsibility allowance, yes. But you don’t need to be in the FLO to be getting that allowance.

From what I observed in my school, the first promotion from GEO2-3 is the same around 2009 or after 2011 batch.

GEO 3-4 varies on the performance of the officers. Have female officers promoting to geo 4 in their 5th year, at 29, to male officers Geo 4 in their 6th year despite getting Geo 3 faster. There are also officers who are stuck donkey years at Geo 3.

For Geo 4- geo 5, I admit the trend in my school is it takes longer. Promotion is not any faster , even for KP at geo 4 for a few years. Same goes for geo 5-seo1

Definitely not fast but I wouldn't say it is slow either, unless you are a KP, I would say that the pace is ok.
