Have you ever found yourself in the perfect employment situation?

The perfect job is an elusive thing. Every job requires some amount of sacrifice. Either it’s interesting work but not that much pay, or it’s soul-sucking but stable. These are the two kinds of gigs you often find yourself in, unless you’re exceedingly lucky. But even within those jobs, there are lots of ways that they can help us or hurt us. Maybe you have the kind of manager who completely understands your working style and is able to support it completely. Maybe you and your manager just don’t get along, and it makes everything harder than it needs to be. Maybe the commute to the office is a breeze, or maybe it’s the worst part of your day because it adds more than an hour each way. Maybe there’s a really good lunch spot, and they have your favorite dish every time. Maybe the coffee in the office happens to be your favorite kind of coffee, or maybe it’s your least favorite. Maybe the type of work you’re doing requires a lot of focus, so it leaves you drained. Maybe it’s not challenging enough, so your mind wanders from place to place.
