Jobs and Career Progression

Written by

in

Your job is your main income engine. MoneyCQ ships with 100+ jobs across fields like retail, trades, office, healthcare, tech, and education — each with hours, stress, security, and pay.

What it is

A career system with real progression: Entry → Mid → Senior ladders per field, gated by weeks in role, reputation, and skills.

What it does

  • Pays your weekly salary after tax and retirement contributions.
  • Tracks hours and stress — overwork raises fatigue and risks burnout.
  • Lets you negotiate salary or hours (with a cooldown).
  • Promotes you when you meet the next rung’s requirements.
  • Fires the redundancy event when the economy weakens or your job security is low.

How to use it

  1. Open the Career screen and pick a job (locked jobs show greyed out with their requirements).
  2. Check the promotion panel to see exactly what the next rung needs.
  3. Negotiate when your reputation supports it — an 8-week cooldown applies.
  4. When redundancy hits, weigh the package vs the transfer choice.

Good to know

Skills gate mid and senior roles. If a job is locked, check which skill you need — see Education & Skills.
