Nope, but I can only fulfill the conditions to access the grade at age 48. They passed a law that in governmental administrations you're not allowed to reach the last pay grade earlier than 12 years before retirement. And I'm in the transition phase of that law, so until a few days I thought I could make it, just like some of my lucky working colleagues before they slam the door...
On the other hand reaching your final grade at age 34 is a little bit weird.
Advancement in GovAdmin is based on years of service, arbitrary conditions (e.g. 12-years-before-retirement rule) and luck (when does the next guy leaves iot to liberate a place in the higher pay grade). It has nothing to do with education, training or doing a good job!
