Francis (Doc) MacCready:
I'd also have done it a bit differently if I knew that expenses (including lifestyle) were going to be hand waved. Lifestyle is double cost, after all.
And it's 10 karma to nuyen only during character creation. I know that I've read 1 karma = 2000 nuyen somewhere in one of the 5th edition source-books.
apparently it is in the missions FAQ
from a random guy on Redit:
Working for the People: Trade 2,000 nuyen for 1 karma, up to 10,000 nuyen for 5 karma per run. It takes 1 week of downtime.
Working for the Man: Trade 1 karma for 2,000 nuyen, up to 5 karma for 10,000 nuyen per run. It takes 1 week of downtime.
SRM Season 5 FAQ p.11:
Is there a Cash for Karma (or Karma for Cash) option? Yes! Once between each Missions adventure you may choose to Work For The Man or Work For The People. If you are Working for the Man, you can trade 1 Karma for 2,000¥. This represents your character going out and doing the dirty, sleazy, or simply boring grunt work for a company or corporation. It pays well, but eats away at your soul. If you Work for the People, you can trade 2,000¥ for 1 Karma. This represents you going out and doing some pro-bono runner work, helping out at a local soup kitchen, or doing some volunteer work. It costs you a little something, but you feel better about yourself afterward. In either case, you may only trade away or gain a maximum of 5 Karma each time you Work for the Man or the People, and it takes up one week of downtime during which you can do nothing else. You cannot do this again until after you pull another Shadowrun.
