Foreign service is no different..jab aap Pakistan mai posted honge toa utni hi salary hogi jitni sab officers ki hoti hai us cadre mai....Yani grade 17 ki 35-40 hazar...Incase he is posted abroad the salary is in dollars as rupee is useless in a foreign country....shyed 1700 se lekar 2000 dollar tak hoti hai...Lekin my friend agar aap kabhi bahar gaye ho yaqeen mano ye ziyadah salary nahi....Wahan ke hasab se ye bhi kam hai sirf utni jitna guzara hosake...USA mai toa odd jobs karke bhi aadmi hafte ka 1000 dollar kama leta hai...
So forget about salary and focus on other aspects of CSS...

The salary is not that low, since diplomats in the USA, Western Europe and Japan and South Korea are paid a bit more than other countries due to the high costs of living. Secondly, rent is paid in full along with medical insurance. Thirdly, they hardly pay any taxes. But of course one cannot expect to become wealthy if he joins the civil service. Private sector pays far more.
