Life#
Ahmet Canib Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1853/54 (AH 1270). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Balikci.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The personnel records also mark the telegraph school. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1873/74 (AH 1290). The official was then about 19 years old. The record gives 2 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 120 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1875/76, the official was about 21 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1875/76, shows Muhabere Memuru in Istanbul, with 120 kuruş a month. In 1876/77 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Beykoz, the salary going from 120 to 300 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Istanbul).
The highest salary, 590 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1897/98 as Muhabere Memuru. 73 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 28 years with a salary the median is 400 kuruş a month, with 6 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 180 kuruş, is seen in 1876/77. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 6.08 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1901/02, when 67 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
