After working in large and midsize companies, a tiny startup and even as a solo contractor, it seems the top 3 predictors of my work happiness are:
1. how much I like my direct co-workers
2. how much I believe in what we’re building
3. how much I’m trusted to manage my own time

I relate a lot to those 3 things. And they're almost independent from the size of the company.

My first paying job was telemarking. Selling magazines.
It was a shit job,
for shit pay,
with amazing people.
By far one of my favorite jobs ever.

Agreed, and I tend to think of it as the trifecta of work happiness—gotta love what you're building, who you're building with, and how you're building it (together).
