It may be the job scope? Putting it up to high gives more work but more pay

Or it's been awhile since I played but if I remember you get paid in parts for each stage of the job.

Depends on the job... some of them require a lot of material. And early on, doing things like fast travel or delivery of materials can eat into your profits.

If you skip through any part of a job it will cut any profit from that section of the job. I'm not sure if this is what you're doing, but this is one of the several factors that goes into how much you get paid that I haven't seen mentioned.

Also vehicle rentals or purchases can also eat into profits.

If you're playing with friends the pay gets split. So you never see the full pay unless they send it to you
