Few Ices, Lots damages

Trust on Jinteki's reputation as your main protection in early game. In almost all cases, protect HQ first but dont rez the ICE until the run is damaging either to you or to him.

You don't need lots of money, still a scored Gila jump you back on your feet from 0 to 4 in one turn wich is nice, so private contract is rather a protection against Account than a real money maker.
