Thanks,

Please tell me, AlpheccaStars, if you heard my sentences "from his job" and "out of his job" from a native speaker in a casual conversation, would they strike you as odd?

Hi,

There are not many collocations with "money from his job/out of his job". I've tried to google out these but got only this one: He saved enough money from his new job to buy a car for his sister, and repaired a strained relationship with his father.

The first one (out of) sounds very strange.

The second is not as strange, but it's not very colloquial.

I would use "in" or "at," not "out of" or "from." But I should also point out that (at least in the U.S.) asking about someone's salary is not considered very polite in most circumstances.
