Active careers like Firefighter and Amusement Park promote faster (3-4 days per rank), so you reach higher salaries sooner even if the top pay is lower.
Themis & Jones in Bliss Bay starts Junior Lawyers at 450 Meow (vs 300 at Justitia in Dowon), making Bliss Bay the better city for the early career grind.
