The life of Selim Faik Bey began in Kilis in 1855/56 (AH 1272); the father's occupation was "Kilis idare meclisi azası". Selim Faik began work in Kilis in 1870/71, at about 15.

The last posts were in Istanbul from 1877 to 1885.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1878 to 750 in 1880/81, the peak, in Istanbul, when three in four paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.
