[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am currently a 12 and wanted to know if I should start applying to other agencies to get a 13 or at least to agencies where the career ladder would give me a reasonable likelihood of ascending to a 14 over time.

Thank you all for your feedback thus far.[/quote]

Thanks OP, I don't think we realized you were already GS.  Yes, if your position does not promote past 12 then (as you obviously know) you will need to apply for a new position.  5 years experience seems sufficient for a 13/14 in that same field, assuming you have good reviews, so if your agency doesn't agree or doesn't offer a higher grade then looking elsewhere makes sense.  I do think there's a mild internal bias against promoting existing GSs "too many" grades, e.g., from a mid-12 right to a 14.

If your position does promote to 13 but your supervisor is not putting you in for that, then if I were you [i]or[/i] a prospective employer I would want to know why.[/quote]

OP again
There are opportunities for a 13 at my position, and I'm in the running, but I need to plan my next move if I don't get selected.[/quote]
