Next to upper-left corner icons, you will find a progress wheel with a number inside. That’s your status (or level) indicator.

 

Remember that all your furniture will provide crowns to increase your status. The more crowns you collect, the higher level you get. But, take in mind that these crowns of status will only be applied to your character when the furniture is placed in your house. 

 

Your status (or level) will also increase thanks to upgrading some of the skills available during your professional career (briefcase icon).  Read the descriptions carefully to know which skills are the best ones for your growth strategy.
