Getting hired

How to land a Management job

Management points come from leadership experience, Charisma and the Serious Vibe — not one skill. Senior roles pair Management with a domain skill: Mission Coordinator (Space Agency) wants Management + Science; the Space Agency CEO needs Biology, Science and Management together.

1
Open the job board. Click your Para, choose Use Phone then Find a job — or use any computer (the Town Hall and Library have public ones) or a Hiring poster around Melino.
2
Check the Application Points. Rank 1 listings need 0 points; every higher rank needs Application Points equal to its rank number — a Rank 12 job needs 12. Points come from leveled skills, sector work experience, the Charisma stat and certain Vibes.
3
Accept and set a schedule. Listings refresh every in-game day, you can hold multiple jobs if shifts don't overlap, and you tweak hours at the bottom of the Occupations tab. Applying internally adds +3 points; a Jester Vibe can roll a random +5.

Rank & pay

The rank ladder, entry to capstone

Pay scales with rank. Figures below are daily salaries cross-checked from the EA job tables — treat them as representative, not guaranteed, since patch 0.1.x can rebalance.

Entry · Rank 1
Store Manager and junior team leads — Management often starts as the senior step of another track (a Service manager, a shift lead). Bank experience in a sector first.
Mid ranks
Product Manager / Operations Director / Technical Director (ClickWork Industries) — Technical Director is Rank 25, about $830/day, pairing Management with Programming.
Senior / capstone
CEO (Space Agency) — Rank 46, about $2,850/day, the highest confirmed salary in EA. It demands Biology, Science and Management at once — a true endgame role.

Skills that feed it

What raises your Application Points

These are the player-leveled skills that count toward this domain's Application Points. Level them, or use a cheat to test a higher-rank listing.

This domain has no single required skill in EA — eligibility leans on work experience, the Charisma stat and Vibes instead.

Management has no skill bar; it rides on whatever domain you came from. To reach the top — the Space Agency CEO — you also need Science and Biology, so a science-skilled Para climbs Management fastest.

Perks & cheats

Upgrade points, perks and the console
