I skipped SEO, took me five years to get to G7 from HEO. Then just over five years to G6 and then five and a half years to DD.

Not sure what tips you're hoping for, have the competancy examples ready?

How did you find that jump, was it the case of it was challenging at first but with hard work and time you adapted?

Thar bit was kinda fine. I'd typically had G6/DD line managers so I understood the level. Tricky bit was getting acustomed to a new department and getting freindly with people I didnt know whilst setting up the new role. I was confident enough but possibly overthought perseptions.
