This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Salih Reşid Beğ began in Ioannina (Yanya) in 1862/63 (AH 1279); the father's occupation was "Şûrâ-yı Devlet reisi". Work began in Istanbul in 1881/82, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1881/82, places Mustafa Salih Reşid Beğ in Istanbul as Âmedî-i Divân-ı Hümâyun Kalemi namzedi, where the entries run to 1886/87. At the same time, from 1886 to 1895, the lists also place Mustafa Salih Reşid Beğ in a post with no place named as Âmedî-i Divân-ı Hümâyun Kalemi üçüncü sınıf hulefâsı. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1902 give a second post, in Istanbul as Meclis-i Mahsus zabıt kâtibi; Âmedî hulefâsı, with a rise to Surayi Devlet Azasi in 1894/95. Alongside, the lists for 1901/02 give a second post, in Sivas as Sivas valisi.

The salary went from 1,500 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 18,000 in 1901/02, the peak, in Sivas, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. On average the pay stood in the top 4.8 per cent of each year's paid officials; only 49 of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
