33 The Island Getaway DLC introduces nine careers exclusive to Cahaya. All Cahaya careers are full-time rabbit hole jobs, meaning your Zoi leaves for work and returns after their shift with periodic status updates. There are no part-time or active careers on the island. Seven careers offer three-rank promotion paths, while Farming and Mining are single-rank positions with no advancement.
