what makes a perfect job for you? please share

I think a perfect job for me will be

1. sustainable work hours and stress level, fair compensation that reflect the nature and hours of your work.

2. good boss who cares and nontoxic coworkers.

3. supportive collaborating physician(s) and/or good structures.

4. interesting field of work (not as important as 1,2,3)

 

I am still on the look out for my perfect job every day. I know I may be settling on an imperfect job now but I will keep on working on my skills set and being patient. I believe a "perfect" job exists, life is too short to stay forever on a mediocre job out of fear. My first job out of school was near perfect for 3.5 years and I loved every minute of that job.

Please share what makes a perfect job for you. Have a vision will help with the daily grind!

Autonomy. Flexibility. Compensation. Status within the organization. 

I don't really want to interact with management officials or support staff unnecessarily with a preference to work from home and have since before COVID, and I can do whatever I want between interviews. Compensation, primarily pay followed by retirement matching, is also important because I don't like this well enough to do it for less, and I want to live without having to overly concern myself with paying bills. Finally, I don't want to be expected to do anything outside of direct care, I.e. no committees, unnecessary meetings, peer reviews (I really hate those), calling people, and engaging in correspondence. I think of the VA as an example. The compensation was below competitive, the autonomy was non-existent, at the time there was limited flexibility although I was able to take advantage of a situation and craft my own hours, and the status was extremely low with no support from anyone. So if it sounds like I'm working for creature comforts, then yes, obviously. Why wouldn't anyone be selective? Many just aren't as blunt about it. #worktolive
