Our 8 October Banking test completed one full shift and recorded a promotion from Marketer to Relationship Officer. The wage receipt was 11,600 game naira and the Cab cost was 150. That particular test therefore produced a net increase of 11,450.

Use the comparison tool with your own current pay, travel cost and number of shifts. A later rank menu displayed 21,000 per shift, but it was not received in a completed subsequent shift. The example button uses the completed receipt rather than that menu figure.

A displayed requirement is a useful checklist item, not proof of timing or a guaranteed promotion. Check your live job panel, current skill and completed shift result. No same-condition comparison established the fastest routine or a fixed number of shifts to maximum rank.

Evidence, with context

What the source actually says

A menu label, a player's observation and a published reference answer different questions. Check the date and the evidence label.

Claims sharing a source reuse the same evidence. They do not count as independent tests.
