Daily schedule and pay growth
New hires work 10 hours a day from Monday to Friday, which adds up to 50 hours per week. Level 1 pays 14 Simoleons per hour, or 700 Simoleons per week. By level 4, your Sim earns 37 Simoleons per hour, making 1,850 Simoleons for the same 50 hours.
Every day your Sim works, they earn 0.5 paid days off. As you advance into a branch at level 5, your weekly hours drop while your hourly pay rises. If your Sim quits the job, the level they rejoin at drops by one every 2 days.
Certain traits and degrees add a bonus percent to your hourly pay. A Sim with a Computer Science or Communications BS degree with honors gets a 41% pay bonus. The Knowledge trait adds 30%, Valedictorian adds 15%, and Business Savvy adds 10%.
Choosing the Expert or Supervisor branch
At level 5, you must pick between the Expert branch and the Supervisor branch. The Supervisor branch is the better choice for both top weekly pay and free time. At level 10, a Head of the Department makes 355 Simoleons per hour and 9,940 Simoleons per week.
Supervisor Sims at levels 9 and 10 work 7 hours a day from Monday to Thursday. That is only 28 hours per week, leaving Friday and the weekend completely free.
The Expert branch pays slightly less and asks for more hours at the top. A level 10 Cloud Data Guru earns 272 Simoleons per hour and 9,520 Simoleons per week. Expert Sims also work on Saturdays or Sundays, with 35 hours per week at levels 9 and 10.
Faster promotions and career cheats
When your work performance is close to the promotion line, you have a 1% base chance for an early promotion. The Entrepreneurial trait multiplies this chance by 10, and the Growth Mindset moodlet multiplies it by 5. If performance hits the bottom at the end of a shift, the demotion chance is 100%, unless the Professional Slacker trait drops that multiplier to 0.
You can also use cheats in Live mode to skip the work grind. Open the cheat console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. Type testingcheats true and press Enter to enable career cheats.
Type careers.promote CorporateWorker to move up one level right away. You can also type careers.add_career CorporateWorker to join the job, or careers.demote CorporateWorker to go down a level. To quit using the console, enter careers.remove_career CorporateWorker.
