How difficult is it to build up your network and reputation if you're looking to move from an associate (up for promotion) role at one firm to a senior at another?

It's easier to do it within one firm, if you are not doing well at that, the chances of promotion from one firm to another is very difficult.

Not impossible though I have seen colleagues join a level up when moving from PwC to EY or KPMG. But Deloitte and PwC do not entertain that.

Sharks and other fishes,
I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?
