The best ratings in each grouping are highlighted in green. Needless to say, the best performing job is “Exterminate a Rival Family”. Which job you will perform, will depend on your current needs and your ability to meet the minimum requirements for the job. You may have to recruit more players, purchase more weapons, protection, vehicles or perform prep work in order to undertake the job. Most often, the best job to perform will be in the highest grouping you can afford. You will seldom return to a previous category unless you need to perform the Boss Job (To be covered in another article).
If you are about to level up, you may want to choose a job that rewards more Experience Points. If you need to buy properties or inventory, then the logical choice is one that returns better cash payouts.
“You will seldom return to a previous category …”
I disagree. You will get bonus weapons by finishing all three sub-levels of each job. You will also get a different title, like “Master Street Thug”.
(Once you have completed the 3rd level of Mastering in a category, there isn’t much need to return with the exception of going back for some loot that you need to do other jobs like the “Rob the Electronic Stores” job and the the job that gives you the blackmail photo. Some of the earlier tips are written before game changes so reading the later tips will deal with the changes and updates)
