The hardest thing about finding a great job is finding a great boss. A great boss is someone who respects your work, your boundaries, and who understands your strengths and weaknesses. A great boss/manager will do their very best to prevent the politics and bureaucracy and let you focus on what you want to do, which is great work. I don't have any advice on how to find a great boss/manager, but they are unfortunately hard to come by in my experience.
