Ever had a crappy job? One you couldn’t stand getting up in the morning to get to? One that made you think your boss was a total ass and an idiot to boot? One that you did every day but couldn’t really describe? One that….well you get what I mean.

So what makes a GREAT Marketing job?

For me, it’s three things: PIA. People, Impact, and Autonomy.

Even though they are pretty self-explanatory, let me try and describe each simply.

People: Do you work with or manage amazingly cool, smart, nice, and dynamic people? Are you surrounded by people you both respect and like a ton?

Impact: Does the stuff you do matter? Is it larger than life? Do the results you drive reverberate? Does the work have gravity?

Autonomy: Are you left to your own devices to create greatness? Do you have the degrees of control to sink or swim? Are you jazzed by your ability to make and drive core decisions?

I need all three.

What about you?
