you are not an independent agent, but where the corporate politics dictate what time you do what, when, who you can hire and fire, what your team versus another team does, who gets called when something breaks, and what priorities are what

Having clients is doubling down on all that, not an escape from it.

With the added stress of irregular income and a real possibility for not being paid at all.

And probably for less money because you don’t have good clients.

The biggest red flag is you are here on HN playing house instead of getting rejected by cold calling…everything is easier to stomach than rejection — including failure of the business.

If you can’t see why things are the way they are at your employer, how are you going to understand why things are the way they are at a client business?
