203. Return of the CACC

We break down a simple, durable way to measure work happiness and use it to make smarter career moves. Culture, autonomy, and challenge drive satisfaction, and compensation bends the curve when life needs change.

• What culture feels like when it fits and when it drains
• How autonomy ranges from steady structure to creative freedom
• Why challenge should be satisfying strain, not daily dread
• How compensation offsets gaps and includes benefits
• Signs to switch teams, negotiate, or plan an exit
• How to score your week and spot patterns
• Real questions to ask in interviews to gauge fit

If you want the scoring spreadsheet, send us a note and we’ll share it. We’re also posting it on Patreon. Please join: “Even if you’re not gonna pay us, can you still sign up for the Patreon?”
