For those who would lose money joining the FS, I have a question about the salary determination:
It states that they require 90 days proof of "current salary." Does this 90 days have to be at the same job? For example, if someone starting a new job, and only worked there for 30 days before beginning A-100, but that same person worked without interupption for more than 60 days at another position prior to starting the new job, will they average both salaries or count them at all?
Thank you,
Bob

Salary documentation must be provided from the candidate’s CURRENT position. Ninety days’ worth of earnings statements must be from the current position. The salary must have been earned for at least 90 days prior to appointment as a Foreign Service Career Candidate.
By the time you are actually appointed to the Foreign Service (first day on the job) it may be that you would have been employed at your old job for at least 90 days.
Salary documentation from a previous position will not be accepted.
Also, for candidates coming from the private sector, “current salary” also means that there must not have been a break in service of more than 45 calendar days between the most recent employment and appointment as a Foreign Service Career Candidate.

"Lose money"?
Do you mean "take a pay cut"?
I'm really at a loss at what else that could mean.

"Lose money" is the technical term used by the Foreign Service in the Benefits section of the website.
I think it means that by choosing a career in the FS vs. staying at your current career you will earn less money.

So it does mean take a pay cut.
More to job satisfaction than money.

For those of us who have not been working in the past 90 days but have 20+ years experience, how does that work for us? Had to take time off to take care of elderly parent.

Your FSO entry grade would be based on your level of education and number of years of qualifying work experience.

... but definitely means loss of money. But we have no choice, for those who want to work and have a family to support. Especially being enmigrantes ... can we choose according to our profession or years of experience?

The salary determination is a combination of your education and years of professional experience. Specialist vacancy notices list the entry grades; generalists start at FP06 to FP04.
