Thanks for the feedback. I actually would like the article to be considered by non-US citizens to consider joining their own Foreign Service. I was deciding between making the article more generalizable vs U.S. centric. I made the title more U.S. centric for efficiency/sorting purposes but have added a paragraph of my estimate for other countries’ diplomacy careers at the very top. Overall, I think the scale of staffing size makes smaller countries’ diplomatic careers competitive, despite the varying geopolitical influence of other countries.
Thank you for changing the title—I think it is more helpful overall now, and addresses the concerns I raised. BUT in addition to that, you added that note underneath it which not just addresses the point, but also raises an interesting consideration regarding non-US EAs working in diplomacy in their own countries, which I hadn’t thought about and I think bolsters your overall point considerably. Well done !
