11 Overview

33 inZOI features dozens of careers across its three cities, each with different salary progressions. This guide compares all careers by their top-rank daily salary in Meow. Careers are either Active (playable workplace where you control the Zoi) or Rabbit Hole (the Zoi disappears off-screen to work). Active careers tend to offer faster promotions through hands-on task completion, while Rabbit Hole careers advance more slowly but require less player attention.
