Do I have to be in the job's city to work a shift?
How many shifts can I work per game day?
Every career in Lagos Life, with its skill, venue, gate requirement and pay ladder — 33 tracks across the three cities. Numbers are base pay in Naira per completed shift; your actual payout moves with completion, bonuses, tax and active governor laws. If you want opinions instead of tables, the ranked shortlist is in the best jobs tier list.
How do jobs and shifts work?
Open your phone → Jobs, pick a track, meet its gate, travel to the track’s city and start a shift during work hours (06:00–21:59). One shift per game day, roughly an hour of game time. Base pay is what a fully completed shift pays at that grade — leaving early scales it down, in-shift tasks and degrees can push it up, and weekly income tax comes off the top. Each career has five ranks; ranks 1–4 each have grades I–IV, and rank 5 is a single top job. New characters should start with the first-week guide before mining this page.

How do promotions work?

Promotion checks performance, completed shifts and skills — and some ranks also want Lagos Rep, time in post, or a board interview. Community testers note that even 100% performance does not guarantee a promotion, so keep working shifts while you wait.
