As for your question and from what limited knowledge i have, this is how it works. The govt. pays for your house, i.e rent, up to the bracket allowed in your pay scale. Mostly, the ceiling for such a rent is sufficient and people end up finding great places in that amount. The amount also varies by station, for instance it would be higher in New York as compared to say Cairo. As a third secretary you would be able to find a two bedroom place around Washington for e.g. which is considered Very Good here. As for furnishing, you have to do it yourself but you are paid for that. Either you can get a container of your furnishings booked to the port of your destination and the government pays for it or instead you can claim 70% of the cost of that freight and buy furniture on your own once you get to your place of posting, as per my understanding. Clarifications are welcome. Flagged cars are only authorized for Heads of Missions and Consulates under the Vienna Convention, with some exceptions made for Charge de' Affairs and heads of trade missions etc. So as a third secretary you will not get a flagged car, but what would happen under most circumstances is that you would be able to register your car under a Diplomatic number plate if you so desired. Your property (your car here) is covered under diplomatic immunity enjoyed by the person and property of the representative (diplomat). You will have to purchase it on your own, or if the head of mission allows you so, you may use the embassy car(s). In large missions the latter is not likely to happen, but buying a car in some of these countries is not as expensive as back home (due to the duties we have) but then again car pricing is subject to markets in the individual country e.g in USA you can get a second hand equivalent of our civic for as low as 8-10 thousand dollars but in places like Singapore it is practically impossible where owing to laws car prices are multiplied up to ten fold due to a tax such as CVT. Best of luck in your endeavors and may Allah guide you and help you.

In the traditional sense DMG, otherwise it is a very subjective thing.

- More horizontal mobility - Better facilities, e.g drivers, cars, house etc - Better networking within the domestic power circles etc - Social status within the traditional social structure - Better promotion prospects etc etc Non traditional would be - Exposure to the outside world - Personal development opportunities, e.g languages, training, qualifications (debatable) - Possibility of changing careers by joining IGOs etc - Possible business / professional networking opportunities that may not be available to those serving domestically. etc etc The first set would be for DMG the other for FSP. In my opinion of course.

I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies. I just came across this website and this particular thread. I've got some queries and they're related to Foreign Service and so I hope you'll be able to help as your profile mentions that you're working in Foreign Service.
I'm currently doing my undergrad course in the UK. I've heard a lot about FSP and I'm really interested in it. I'll be graduating in 3 months inshallah. The problem is if I come back to Pakistan and prepare for this exam really well, what is the probability that I'll actually get into FSP? Would I've an edge over others because of my foreign degree, or it doesn't matter as long as I can score well? Are there any quotas for women? I went through the CSS website but it wasn't of much help. Thank you very much. Quote:
