I started as an examiner in June 2024 as a GS 7-10. I took an accelerated promotion to 9-7 about a year ago, but am unsure if I want to take the second accelerated promotion to GS-11. My production and quality numbers are there, but this administration has made a lot of changes in a short amount of time and I am unsure if I can deal with unforeseen changes at a higher GS level.

If I do not take the second accelerated promotion, when is the next opportunity for me to promote to GS-11?

I tried to clarify this with my SPE this morning, but she did

not directly answer my question and discussed step increases instead.
