Executives
You're the one that's in charge of the whole company, from the day to day stuff to the really big picture problems. You will be held accountable when things go right – but also when they go wrong. If you like variety and thrive on pressure and also have a mind for thinking strategically and financially, then this can be a fantastic job for you as every day can be different.
