The salaryperson career is a career track featured in The Sims 4: Snowy Escape. It is similar to the business career, but it follows more of a Japanese business structure than a western one.[1]Logic is a necessary skill throughout, with writing also needed in the lower levels, programming needed in the Expert branch, and charisma needed in the Supervisor branch.
Description: "Dedicating your life to the Farseer Data Corporation and putting its needs above all else is just the first step for a Salaryperson. Stability, respect, and endless hours of work are in your future. Advance to be a Supervisor or a[sic] Expert in your field all while enjoying morning commutes and evening Karaoke."
1) New Hire
It is said that it takes six months to become productive at a new job. Your Sim will have 6 hours. There will be no slouching for New Hires at Farseer Data Corporation. They are at the bottom of the food chain in this competitive corporate world.
There is a quiet dignity about efficiently completing paperwork. Sure, there is no great praise, but sometimes your Sim still likes to show off by using a pen on first drafts.
Your Sim has more accounts to watch over and duties to complete. Their performance must be nothing less than competent. In this role, decent writing skills are a must.
Through hard work and never forgetting a co-worker’s birthday, your Sim has become the Office Doyen. If there is a debate on what font to use for the new letterhead, the office will fall in line behind your choice.
Description: "Experts are needed in all fields. You don't limit yourself. You are an expert in everything that your boss needs you to be. You are the first and last call teams make when working on difficult problems."
5) Data Wrangler
The mysteries of the universe are decipherable through data and your Sim is the expert who can read that data. What is an eye glazing mountain of numbers to some, is a collection of insights, secrets and revelations for your Sim. That makes them very valuable to the big bosses.
Why did your Sim sign up for this job? It’s a role that will derive most people crazy. Most of your Sim’s co-workers say your work is just a derivative anyway.
Spreadsheets are now your Sim’s domain. Formulas are their tool of choice. There is no limit to the number of rows and columns they will be responsible for.
Your Sim now directs all the spreadsheet specialists. Through their direction lies fates of payroll, capacity planning, billing, finance, and countless other mission critical spreadsheets.

9) Formula Virtuoso
Advanced logic and programming skills have helped your Sim progress to this level. The way they use formulas to work the data is like watching a skilled artist create. As long as your Sim is creating profit, the big bosses are happy.
So this is where all the data ends up. All of it is at your fingertips. Your Sim will use it to lead Farseer Data Corporation to be number 1 globally. All departments tie into data, so now your Sim will be critical to all departments. I hope you like being ‘on call’.

Salaryperson Career Levels - Supervisor Branch
Description: "The corporate hive mind does not function without a endless number of team leads. Join their legion and become a Supervisor. Increase productivity by hundredths of a percent through inspirational team exercises."
5) Valued Employee
Your Sim is truly a valued employee. They clearly stand out from the thousands of slightly less valued employees at the same level.
As a Team Leader, your Sim will command the ultimate respect of at least two employees. This may only apply to the two weeks in which your Sim is writing quarterly reviews.
Your Sim has finally achieved the prestige of being a Skilled Supervisor. They stand out amongst their peers in a good way, for work ethic. Productivity will increase or there will be more paperwork.
What will the team be doing next Thursday at 9:47 AM? Your Sim knows. They are a wizard of calendars, punch cards, data sheets, and gantt charts. Worker capacity will be accounted for.
Whether it is office seating arrangements or how to create more efficient submission processes for form 250-3, the Group Oracle is who the corporate leaders turn to. Your Sim will need to be an expert in multiple fields to help out this group, or at least know how to bluff.
Your Sim now leads the department. Success or failure now rests squarely on their shoulders. They will also have to lead the quarterly corporate meetings through good and bad. At least you Sim had the best power pose picked out for their corporate portrait.
