Revision 6

Overview

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.

Highest-Paying Careers

The Lawyer career has the best hourly rate at approximately 340 Meow per hour for a 6-hour shift. Criminal careers (Gangster, Street Soldier) pay the highest daily total but work 9-hour shifts and raise Crime Score.

Mid-Tier Careers

Entry-Level and Part-Time Jobs

Part-time jobs pay less than full-time careers and do not have promotion tracks. They work well for Zois who need flexible schedules or supplemental income.

Criminal Career Progression
