Every Lagos Life job & starting salary
All 33 careers run on the same frame: five levels, 1-hour shifts, and a starting wage you can read in the in-game Jobs app. Here is the full list, with the numbers checked in-game.
Open the Phone → Jobs app and you can apply to any career with no skill gate. A handful of higher-paying ones (Medicine, Civil Service, Real Estate…) are locked until you have the listed skill at level 3. Every job is 1-hour shifts, any time, 4–6 days a week — not the 5–10 hour shifts some guides claim.

Three cities, different jobs
Lagos Life runs in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt. Your character lives in one city, and jobs tied to the others only appear when you are there — Abuja adds roles like Keke Riding and Mai Shayi, Port Harcourt adds Oil & Gas, Ferry Work and Bole & Fish.
What the numbers tell you
- Banking (₦10,100) and Tech (₦8,600) are the best-paying jobs with no skill gate — the right first pick for most players.
- Refining (₦12,200) pays even more with no gate, making it a strong opening for a Lapo start.
- The locked mid-level jobs (Medicine ₦18,300, Product Management ₦17,400) are worth training toward once you have the skill.
