Non-Competitive Transfer for Judicial Grades (JG)

As an Analyst within the NYS UCS, those roles are all Non-Competitive. I’m new to the system but what’s the difference between the non and permanent competitive.

I want to transfer into a different unit but idk if I have protections. I also know that there’s no Tests for analyst roles. Should I start applying at my 6 month mark although I’m still on probation or should I wait the year then apply?

I don’t want to stay in the current role that I am in for more the 1 year since Im over qualified and meet the minimum qualifications for higher grades

Currently a JG-21 and trying to find a perfect timeline as to when I should apply for higher grades.
