I feel like what makes a "dream job" is so often the people you're working with, rather than your job title or the product. I'd rather be working with smart people who respected my work on a normal piece of software, than working on, say, a fun video game where my boss was a slave-driver.
- yawn 15y agoAlthough I'm a full-time programmer, the best and worst job I ever had was as a bookseller at a major bookstore chain. When I first got there, my coworkers were passionate about books--it was something the store manager looked for when she hired. It was a fantastic place and time to be there. When the store manager was promoted out of the position, she was replaced by a more corporate type who had different hiring criteria. In a little over a year, she turned the place into just another job because she hired people that had no passion. The ones that did left. It became another 9 to 5, and I think the store suffered because of it.
