If you are a newbie, you can skip this optimization and spread employees equally across non-R&D jobs. It's not optimal, but you can still reach the endgame after couple hours if you follow other important advice.

There are 2 types of office: main office and support office. Main office is where you develop new product. Support office is where you assign a large number of employees to R&D job to increase RP. The most common setup is 1 main office and 5 support offices. The most important office is the main office, its budget must be much higher than support offices' budget.

The purpose of investment offer is to get large funds and quickly grow the corporation. Better product brings more profit, and higher profit means higher offer. However, it takes a long time to develop early product(s). Sometimes, spending more time to develop better product before accepting offer can harm your overall growth. You must find a good number of products to develop before accepting offer.

We need to continuously develop new products. New products are almost always better than the old ones and generate much more profit.

- Do not deplete entire RP pool to buy research. You should only buy research if it costs less than half of the RP pool. Personally, my conditions for buying research upgrades are:
- For energy/morale and employee's stats: if it costs less than 20% of RP pool.
- For production: if it costs less than 10% of RP pool.
- If you don't have a custom Market-TA2 script, you must prioritize Market-TA1 and Market-TA2. Market-TA1 is useless, the only reason to buy it is because it's the prerequisite of Market-TA2. If you buy them, you should stock up on RP and buy them together. However, I recommend implementing a custom Market-TA2 ASAP.

However, even in the endgame, those researches may do more harm than good. In the endgame, the warehouse's size and high-quality input materials are serious bottlenecks. Having more product slots means that you need more free space in the warehouse and more units of input materials. In some cases, increasing product slots actually reduces the overall profit.
