Customs yes a good option.
Police yes it,s good with attractive perks but depends on caliber of person, challenging as well.
PAS, after local bodies election has lost its authoritative fragment to Nazim, on some major functional grounds, and neli bati and other Perks are still there.
Last but not least it,s an opinion and anybody can disagree.

You seem to be knowledgeable about FSP. So I hope that you'll tell me what others reluctant to tell.
1- I want to know a rough estimate of salary of a diplomat posted abroad.
I heard from unauthentic sources that the salary , let's say in London, would be around 1500 USD, which is like peanuts.
It will be great if
2- you also share with us the quality of residence abroad.
I am being told that a furnished apartment is provided but what I don't know is the details.
Please also share details about the traveling expenditures for personal reasons.
3-How often can we travel to Pakistan?
4-Do we have to bear the cost for personal visits?
5-Can we use diplomatic passport for personal traveling or its use is limited to official visits?
6-I was being told that educational expenditures of two children would be covered by the government. (for any university college school, one wishes to send ones children) is it true?
I know that parents are not considered as family.
7-Can they live with me, during my posting abroad, on their own expense of traveling?
8-Is the provided residence adequate to accommodate parents?
9-One thing more, when should one expect a reasonable house in islamabad? I mean at what stage of the career?
10-Does one get a car in islamabad?
It will be great if you answer these queries one by one.
Thanks in anticipation.
