[Question] What's it like working at the Hollow Investigative Association?
I've been unemployed for five years and got scolded by my mom today. It really hurt my self-esteem, so I decided to go out for some fresh air when I saw an HIA recruitment ad on Sixth Street. It was basically:
*Assist in official investigations for a stable source of income
*Had a dazzling PR image about looking good in front of your family (at least my mom will stop nagging)
*Generous benefits like a competitive salary, flexible holidays, and free buffets at the company canteen.
Looking at the dashing Ace Investigator in the ad, I was thinking my mom would be very happy if I ever got a job like that. But is it really such a good job?

The promotion path for Investigators is: Trainee Investigator > Full Investigator > Senior Investigator > Elite Investigator > Ace Investigator. With each promotion, you'll face more pressure and danger. So few make it to the top and become an Ace, no wonder they're treated like stars.		1F

One of the requirements for recruiting Investigators is Ether aptitude. This requirement alone rules out most people. With no aptitude for Ether, you can only do supporting jobs like being an office worker, coordinating, liaisons and stuff. Keep it up, OP, you can do it!		2F

You can also divide HIA work into general tasks and special tasks, and the income varies according to the risk involved. General tasks include rescues, data observation and recovery, and Companion Hollow investigation while special tasks consist of Hollow containment, commissions from officials, and hunting Ethereals. Special tasks are obviously more dangerous, but also offer a better chance for Investigators at gaining exposure and becoming a hero. Based on incomplete statistics, Ace Investigators are more likely to gain fame through special tasks.		4F
