It's possible that maybe you shouldn't burn any bridges.
Often when foreign employees do the hopscotch job hopping thing, MOM gets wise the the fact that the foreigner is using the 1st employee as nothing more than a paid visa. Some of them actually are subsequently rejected when previously accepted for the first job. (I know this for a fact).
Obviously this isn't the case where you are looking at significant downgrade of salary but yes it is probable that you will not be able to keep your existing EP level if your new position does not meet the minimum qualifications for the old level. However, it shouldn't matter that much as you will still have an EP here. If it because of the different benefits of the pass levels (regarding the bringing in of relatives and so forth) then you would do well to think carefully as you will get automatically downgraded if you don't qualify for the Higher level.
For that matter we recently had an individual post here who applied for and was qualified for a P1 Visa but was only given a P2. The MOM guidelines are just that, only guidelines. They give only the minimum guidelines to be "considered" for the position. They do not guarantee it however.
