Job description for Chief of Staff to CEO at Doyobi
This is the job I thought I signed up for when I joined management consulting straight out of college. Be involved in strategic decisions that make a real impact on top and bottom line. Get involved in the day-to-day running to really understand the business. Hire great people so you're working with people smarter than you, folks you can learn from.
If you're optimising for how much you get paid next month, don't bother applying. There are many other jobs that pay better. If on the other hand you want to get hands on building a real business, learn an incredible amount, and stop wasting your life making pretty slides, read on.

Ultimately seeing kids grow up to contribute meaningfully to the world.
