Your retainer will keep his experience levels when you upgrade him to a job.

You can only assign your retainer a job once. If you change your mind, you must reset the retainer to Lv01 and then level him up again before assigning him a new job.
Thank you for this information and the way you broke it down. I'm so happy about this. Now I don't have level up my retainer again. I'm so excited to move into Stormblood. One less thing on my list of things do.
