Sometimes promotions in consecutive years even.

Otherwise, how to attain accolade of being youngest principal at early to mid 30s, considering males only complete uni at 25, and complete NIE at 26/27.

Between GEO2 to Superscale H, there are 7 ranks to clear. Even if promote every 2 years, still take 14 years.

Maybe add a year between promotion for local scholars.

If you are destined to hit the superscale grades, you won't take 14 years to get there.

If you are not, after chionging 14 years and taking up whatever KP positions you can find, you are probably still fermenting slowly at SEO1 or SEO2.

Not necessarily bad to stay as SH or HOD in the long-term. SEO1, SEO2 salary is not bad, and the more years you stay on the job, the better and more efficient you are supposed to become at your work. Ultimately a sweet spot could be achieved.

Of course, if one desires to make wider impact beyond the school, then retiring as a SH is not satisfying la.
