[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the course of three years, how much extra would your husband make at the hardship location vs. a cushy location.

And how much of a difference would those 3 years mean for your retirement (would his pension go up dramatically?).

Sorry, I'm not familiar with foreign service at all so I'm just trying to get a picture of this..[/quote]

Poland is not a hardship post, but he would get an extrat 10 - 15 % language incentive pay, plus we could rent out our house for $2900 per month.  There is also a tax free COLA.  [/quote]

How much extra would you net - total- over the course of 3 years?[/quote]

Way too much money for a government employee.

FSOs are the most ridiculously entitled and spoiled government employees you will ever meet. This woman perfectly encapsulates their mentality.[/quote]

What mskes you say "way too much for a government employee." I am an FSO. My base pay is 100K.  I just completed four years in Russia.  Because I speak fluent Russian I received a language incentive differential of 15%. Russisn is considered a hard language that the Department wants to encourage officers to develop and maintain. I also received  15% hardship differential. My net was about $100K.  This does not include my income from renting my home in DC for $1595. This nets zero as it pays the mortgage. I work hard, like what I do and deserve every penny I earn.[/quote]
