At about 16, in 1886/87, Mehmed Mecidi began work in Şebinkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Şarki). The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Mehmed Mecidi as Telgrafhane mülazımı and no place named.
The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 800 in 1893/94, the peak, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 55,200 kuruş, 1.6 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1895/96.
